Abstract
The rules on dispute settlement of Part 3 of the Trade and cooperation Agreement provide for
a consultation procedure between the Parties, to be held either within the framework of the
Specialized Committee on Law Enforcement and Judicial Cooperation or within the framework of
the Partnership Council. A decision by either of these bodies is considered a mutually agree d
solution. The Parties may also reach a solution without involving these bodies. If no mutually agreed
solution is reached, the complaining Party may suspend the Titles to which the breach pertains, and
the respondent Party may suspend all of the remaining Titles. The Specialized Comm ittee on Law
Enforcement and Judicial Cooperation decides what measures are needed to ensure that any
cooperation affected by the suspension of the Titles is concluded in an appropriate manner. The
suspended Titles can be reinstated by the Parties if the breach no longer exists.
