državo pogodbenico, ki ga v treh mesecih od zahteve ene od strank v sporu ni mogoče rešiti s posvetovanji, pogajanji ali dogovorjenim načinom reševanja, se spor na zahtevo ene od strank posreduje v končno odločanje senatu treh arbitrov, pri čemer enega arbitra izbere sodišče, drugega država pogodbenica, tretjega arbitra, ki bo predsedoval senatu, pa izbereta prva dva arbitra. Če ena od strank arbitra ne izbere v dveh mesecih od imenovanja arbitra nasprotne stranke, arbitra imenuje predsednik Sodišča Evropske unije. Če prva dva arbitra v treh mesecih od njunega imenovanja ne dosežeta soglasja o tretjem arbitru, ga na zahtevo sodišča ali države pogodbenice izbere predsednik Sodišča Evropske unije.
