If a Party considers that the other Party has offered such an encouragement, it may request consultations with the other Party and the two Parties shall consult, or it may request the establishment of an arbitral panel pursuant to Section D (State-to-State Dispute Settlement Procedures), both with a view to avoiding the encouragement.
