2. Vsaka pogodbenica zagotavlja investitorjem druge pogodbenice pri upravljanju, vzdrževanju, uporabi in uživanju naložb ali pri razpolaganju z njimi pošteno in nepristransko obravnavanje, ki ne bo manj ugodno od tistega, ki ga priznava svojim investitorjem ali investitorjem iz katere koli druge države, kar je pač ugodnejše.

2. Ne da bi bilo v škodo prvega odstavka tega člena je treba investitorjem ene pogodbenice, ki v kakršnem koli primeru iz prvega odstavka utrpijo izgube na ozemlju druge pogodbenice kot posledico:
a) prisilnega odvzema njihovega premoženja s strani vojske ali organov oblasti te pogodbenice,

5. člen
RAZLASTITEV
1. Naložbe investitorjev ene ali druge pogodbenice na ozemlju druge pogodbenice ne smejo biti predmet nacionalizacije, razlastitve ali ukrepov z enakim učinkom, kot ga ima nacionalizacija ali razlastitev (v nadaljevanju “razlastitev“), razen za družbeno koristen namen.
Razlastitev je treba izvesti v skladu z zakonskim postopkom, na nediskriminacijski podlagi in spremljati jo morajo določbe o plačilu takojšnjega, primernega in učinkovitega nadomestila. Tako nadomestilo je enako tržni vrednosti razlaščene naložbe tik pred razlastitvijo ali preden je nameravana razlastitev postala splošno znana, vključno z obrestmi od dneva razlastitve dalje. Izplačati ga je treba brez odlašanja in biti mora dejansko izvedljivo in prosto prenosljivo v prosto zamenljivi valuti.
2. Prizadeti investitor ima pravico, da sodni ali drug neodvisen upravni organ te druge pogodbenice takoj pregleda njihov primer in vrednotenje njihove naložbe, in sicer v skladu z načeli, ki so določeni v tem členu.
3. Določbe iz prvega odstavka tega člena veljajo tudi, kadar pogodbenica razlasti sredstva družbe, ki je registrirana ali ustanovljena po zakonu, ki velja na katerem koli delu njenega ozemlja, in v kateri ima investitor druge pogodbenice svoje deleže.
6. člen
PRENOSI
1. Pogodbenici jamčita za prenose plačil v zvezi z naložbami in dohodki. Prenosi se opravijo v prosto zamenljivi valuti brez vsakih omejitev ali neutemeljenega zavlačevanja. Prenosi vključujejo zlasti, vendar ne izključno:
a) kapital in dodatne zneske za vzdrževanje in povečanje naložbe;
b) dobičke, obresti, dividende in druge tekoče dohodke;
c) sredstva za odplačilo posojil;

VSTOP V PRAVICE INVESTITORJA (SUBROGACIJA)
1. Če ena pogodbenica ali njena imenovana ustanova na podlagi garancije, ki jo je dala za naložbo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice opravi plačilo za svojega investitorja, potem druga pogodbenica prizna:
a) prenos vseh pravic in terjatev investitorja na prvo pogodbenico ali njeno imenovano ustanovo na podlagi zakona ali pravnega posla v tej državi; kakor tudi
b) da je prva pogodbenica ali njena imenovana ustanova na podlagi subrogacije upravičena uresničevati pravice in uveljavljati terjatve investitorja ter da mora prevzeti obveznosti v zvezi z naložbo.
2. Tako prenesene pravice in terjatve pa ne presegajo prvotnih pravic ali terjatev investitorja.
8. člen
REŠEVANJE SPOROV MED POGODBENICO IN INVESTITORJEM DRUGE POGODBENICE
1. Vsak spor, do katerega bi prišlo med investitorjem ene pogodbenice in drugo pogodbenico v zvezi z naložbo na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice, se rešuje s pogajanji med strankama v sporu.
2. V primeru, da spora med investitorjem ene pogodbenice in drugo pogodbenico na tak način ni mogoče rešiti v štirih mesecih, ima investitor pravico po izbiri predložiti spor v reševanje:
a) Mednarodnemu centru za reševanje investicijskih sporov (ICSID) ob upoštevanju ustreznih veljavnih določb Konvencije o poravnavi investicijskih sporov med državami in državljani drugih držav, ki je bila dana na voljo za podpis v Washingtonu D.C. 18. marca 1965, in v takem primeru morata biti obe pogodbenici tudi pogodbenici te Konvencije; ali
b) razsodniku ali mednarodnemu ad hoc razsodišču, ustanovljenemu v skladu s Pravilnikom o arbitraži Komisije Združenih narodov za mednarodno trgovinsko pravo (UNCITRAL). Stranki v sporu se lahko pisno dogovorita o spremembah teh pravil. Arbitražna odločba je dokončna in zavezujoča za obe stranki v sporu.
9. člen
REŠEVANJE SPOROV MED POGODBENICAMA
1. Vsi spori, do katerih bi med pogodbenicama prišlo v zvezi z razlago in uporabo tega sporazuma, se – v kolikor je to le mogoče – rešujejo s posvetovanji.
2. V primeru, da spora v treh mesecih od datuma pisne zahteve za poravnavo ni mogoče rešiti, se ga na zahtevo ene ali druge pogodbenice predloži v obravnavo ad hoc arbitražnemu senatu.
3. Arbitražni senat se sestavi takole: v roku dveh mesecev od prejema zahtevka za arbitražo vsaka pogodbenica imenuje enega člana arbitražnega senata. Ta dva člana nato izbereta državljana tretje države, ki se ga po odobritvi pogodbenic imenuje za predsednika senata. Predsednika se imenuje v dveh mesecih od dne, ko sta bila imenovana druga dva člana.
4. Če imenovanja niso dogovorjena v roku, določenem v tretjem odstavku tega člena, lahko vsaka pogodbenica povabi predsednika Meddržavnega sodišča, da v treh mesecih opravi imenovanje. V primeru, da je predsednik sodišča državljan ene od pogodbenic ali da iz kakršnega koli razloga ne more opraviti te funkcije, je treba povabiti podpredsednika sodišča, da opravi imenovanja. Če je podpredsednik sodišča državljan ene od pogodbenic ali iz kakršnega koli razloga ne more opraviti te funkcije, se povabi po rangu naslednjega najvišjega člana Meddržavnega sodišča, ki ni državljan ene od pogodbenic, da opravi imenovanja.
5. Arbitražni senat odloča z večino glasov in njegove odločitve so dokončne in zavezujoče. Vsaka pogodbenica krije stroške za svojega člana senata in svojega predstavnika v arbitražnih postopkih. Stroške za predsednika in preostale stroške krijeta pogodbenici v enakih delih. Arbitražni senat sam določi svoje postopke.
10. člen
UPORABA DRUGIH DOLOČB
1. Če določeno zadevo urejajo tako ta sporazum kot tudi drug mednarodni sporazum, ki sta ga pogodbenici podpisali, potem nič v tem sporazumu ne preprečuje nobeni pogodbenici ali nobenemu njenemu investitorju, ki ima naložbe na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, da ne bi izkoristil pravil, ki so za njegov primer ugodnejši.
2. Kadar koli ena ali druga pogodbenica na podlagi zakonov, predpisov ali dogovorov uživa ugodnejše razmere, kot so v tem sporazumu določene za investitorje druge pogodbenice, jim je treba odobriti tako ugodnejše obravnavanje.
11. člen
ZAČETEK VELJAVNOSTI, TRAJANJE IN PRENEHANJE
1. Pogodbenici se medsebojno po diplomatski poti obvestita, da so izpolnjene njune notranjepravne zahteve za začetek veljavnosti sporazuma. Sporazum začne veljati z datumom zadnje notifikacije.
2. Določbe tega sporazuma se uporabljajo za vse naložbe, ki so jih izvedli investitorji ene pogodbenice na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v skladu z njenimi zakoni in drugimi predpisi pred ali po začetku veljavnosti tega sporazuma, ne veljajo pa za spore, do katerih je prišlo pred začetkom njegove veljavnosti, ali za spore, ki so neposredno povezani z dogodki, ki so se zgodili pred začetkom veljavnosti sporazuma.
3. Sporazum ostane v veljavi deset let. Nato ostane še naprej veljaven do izteka dvanajstih mesecev od datuma, ko je ena ali druga pogodbenica drugo pogodbenico pisno obvestila o prenehanju veljavnosti.
4. Za naložbe, ki so bile izvedene pred datumom, ko začne učinkovati obvestilo o prenehanju veljavnosti sporazuma, ostanejo določbe naprej v veljavi še nadaljnjih deset let.
V DOKAZ TEGA sta za to pravilno pooblaščena podpisnika podpisala ta sporazum.

2. Each Contracting Party shall subject investors of the other Contracting Party, as regards the management, maintenance, use, enjoyment or disposal of their investment in its territory to treatment which is fair and impartial and not less favourable than that which it accords to its own investors or to investors of any third State, whichever is more favourable.

SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES BETWEEN THE CONTRACTING PARTIES
1. All disputes which may arise between the Contracting Parties concerning the interpretation and application of this Agreement shall, as far as possible, be settled through consultation.
2. If a dispute cannot be settled within three months from the date of written request for settlement, it shall be, upon the request of either Contracting Party, submitted to an ad hoc arbitral tribunal.
3. The arbitral tribunal shall be constituted as follows: within two months of the receipt of the request for arbitration, each Contracting Party shall appoint one member to the arbitral tribunal.

The Chairman shall be appointed within two months from the date of appointment of the other two members.
4. If the appointments are not agreed upon within the period stipulated in paragraph 3 of this Article, either Contracting Party may invite the President of the International Court of Justice to, within three months, make the appointments. In the event that the President is a national of either Contracting Party, or is otherwise prevented from performing the said function, the Vice-President shall be invited to make the appointments.

Where a matter is governed simultaneously both by this Agreement and by another international agreement to which both Contracting Parties are parties, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Contracting Party or any of its investors who own investments in the territory of the other Contracting Party from taking advantage of whichever rules are more favourable to his case.
2. Whenever, as a result of laws, regulations or special agreements either Contracting Party has more favourable conditions than those stipulated in this Agreement for investors of the other Contracting Party such more favourable treatment is to be accorded.
Article 11
ENTRY INTO FORCE, DURATION AND TERMINATION
