The provisions of this Chapter shall apply with respect to the avoidance or the settlement of all disputes arising from this Agreement between any one or more of the EFTA States and Singapore.

Good offices, conciliation and mediation are procedures that are undertaken voluntarily if the Parties involved so agree. They may begin at any time and be terminated at any time.

The arbitration panel shall within 90 days from the date of the establishment of the arbitration panel present to the Parties to the dispute an initial report. The arbitration panel shall base its report on the submissions and arguments of the Parties to the dispute. A Party to the dispute may submit written comments to the arbitration panel on its initial report within 14 days of presentation of the report.

After considering such written comments, the arbitration panel, on its own initiative or at the request of any of the Parties to the dispute, may:
(a) request the views of any of the Parties to the dispute;
(b) reconsider its report; and
(c) make any further examination that it considers appropriate.

The arbitration panel shall present to the Parties to the dispute a final report, containing the matters referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 62, including any separate opinions on matters not unanimously agreed, within 30 days of presentation of the initial report. Unless the Parties to the dispute decide otherwise, the final report shall be published 15 days after it is presented to them.
