Environmental Measures. The Parties recognize that it is inappropriate to encourage investment by relaxing domestic health, safety or environmental measures. Accordingly, a Party should not waive or otherwise derogate from, or offer to waive or otherwise derogate from, such measures as an encouragement for the establishment, acquisition, expansion or retention in its Area of an investment of an investor. If a Party considers that the other Party has offered such an encouragement, it may request consultations with the other Party and the Parties shall consult with a view to avoiding any such encouragement. Without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties under Chapter 15, this Section establishes a mechanism for the settlement of investment disputes that assures both equal treatment among investors of the Parties and due process before an impartial tribunal.
