Druga pogodbenica bo upravičena do nadomestila dajatev in drugih javnih pristojbin, ki jih dolguje in jih mora plačati vlagatelj.
(2) Če pogodbenica plača neko plačilo svojemu vlagatelju in prevzame pravice in terjatve vlagatelja, ta vlagatelj ne sme uveljavljati teh pravic in terjatev do druge pogodbenice, če ni pooblaščen, da nastopa v imenu pogodbenice, ki je opravila plačilo.
9. člen
Reševanje sporov med eno pogodbenico in vlagateljem iz druge države pogodbenice
(1) Vsak spor, ki bi nastal med pogodbenico in vlagateljem iz druge države pogodbenice v zvezi s kako naložbo, bo, če je le mogoče, rešen prijateljsko.
(2) Če spora ni mogoče rešiti prijateljsko v šestih mesecih od datuma zahtevka za rešitev, lahko vlagatelj predloži spor po svoji izbiri v reševanje:
(a) pristojnemu sodišču pogodbenice, na ozemlju katere je bila naložba opravljena; ali
(b) Mednarodnemu središču za poravnavo sporov v zvezi z naložbami (ICSID) v skladu s Konvencijo o reševanju sporov v zvezi z naložbami med državami in državljani drugih držav, sprejeto v Washingtonu 18. marca 1965; ali
(c) arbitražnemu sodišču, ustanovljenemu posebej za to priložnost na podlagi pravilnika o arbitraži Komisije Združenih narodov za mednarodno trgovinsko pravo (UNCITRAL), če se v spor vpleteni stranki ne dogovorita drugače.
(3) Vsaka pogodbenica s tem pristaja na predložitev spora v zvezi z naložbami v mednarodno poravnavo ali arbitražo. Arbitražne razsodbe so dokončne in obvezujoče za v spor vpleteni stranki. Vsaka pogodbenica bo zagotovila izvršbo arbitražne razsodbe na svojem ozemlju.
(4) Pogodbenica, ki je vpletena v spor, ne bo v nobeni fazi postopka ali izvršbe razsodbe kot ugovor navajala svoje imunitete ali dejstva, da je ali bo vlagatelj, ki je druga v spor vpletena stranka, prejel odškodnino na podlagi zavarovalne pogodbe za celotno domnevno škodo ali izgubo ali njen del.
10. člen
Reševanje sporov med pogodbenicama
(1) Reševanje sporov med pogodbenicama v zvezi z razlago ali uporabo določb tega sporazuma bo potekalo po diplomatski poti.

(3) Tako arbitražno sodišče se ustanovi za vsak posamezen primer na tale način. V dveh mesecih po prejemu zahtevka za arbitražo imenuje vsaka pogodbenica enega člana sodišča. Ta dva člana potem izbereta državljana kake tretje države, ki je imenovan za predsednika sodišča, ko ga potrdita pogodbenici. Predsednika je treba imenovati v dveh mesecih od datuma imenovanja drugih dveh članov.
(4) Če v rokih iz odstavka (3) tega člena potrebna imenovanja niso opravljena, lahko v odsotnosti kakršnega koli drugega dogovora katera koli pogodbenica zaprosi predsednika Mednarodnega sodišča, da opravi potrebna imenovanja. Če je predsednik državljan katere od pogodbenic ali zaradi kakih drugih razlogov ne more opravljati omenjene funkcije, je treba zaprositi podpredsednika, da opravi potrebna imenovanja. Če je podpredsednik državljan katere od pogodbenic ali če ne more opravljati omenjene funkcije, je treba zaprositi naslednjega po funkciji najvišjega člana Mednarodnega sodišča, ki ni državljan nobene od pogodbenic, da opravi potrebna imenovanja.
(5) Arbitražno sodišče odloča z večino glasov. Vsaka pogodbenica nosi stroške za svojega člana sodišča in svoje zastopstvo v arbitražnem postopku. Enakomerno porazdeljene stroške za predsednika in druge stroške nosita pogodbenici.
(6) Sodišče določi svoj postopek ob upoštevanju določb tega člena.
(7) Odločitve sodišča so dokončne in obvezujoče za obe pogodbenici.
11. člen

(c) izmenjave pogledov o sporih v zvezi z naložbami;
(d) posredovanja predlogov o pospeševanju naložb;
(e) preučevanja drugih vprašanj v zvezi z naložbami.
12. člen
Začetek, trajanje in prenehanje veljavnosti sporazuma
(1) Ta sporazum bo začel veljati trideset dni po datumu, ko bosta pogodbenici obvestili druga drugo, da so izpolnjene ustavne zahteve za začetek njegove veljavnosti.

(2) Za naložbe, opravljene pred datumom, ko stopi v veljavo obvestilo o prekinitvi tega sporazuma, bodo določbe členov 1 do 11 ostale v veljavi še nadaljnjih deset let.

Such compensation shall be based on the market value of the investment expropriated immediately before the expropriation or at the time the proposed expropriation became public knowledge, whichever is the earlier. It shall be payable from the date of expropriation with interest calculated on a six month LIBOR basis until the date of payment and shall be paid without delay and shall be freely transferable.

The other Contracting Party shall be entitled to set off taxes and other public charges due and payable by the investor.
(2) Where a Contracting Party has made a payment to its investor and has taken over the rights and claims of the investor, that investor shall not, unless authorised to act on behalf of the Contracting Party making the payment, pursue those rights and claims against the other Contracting Party.

Each Contracting Party shall bear the cost of its own member of the tribunal and of its representation in the arbitral proceedings.
