In the context of the process of the accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organisation, the European Union and the Russian Federation negotiated and signed a bilateral Agreement, in the form of an Exchange of Letters and a protocol on technical modalities relating to the administration of tariff rate quotas applying to exports of wood from the Russian Federation to the Union and an Agreement on trade in parts and components of motor vehicles between the Union and the Russian Federation. Article 25 of the Protocol and Article 12 of the Agreement provide for the application of the dispute settlement procedures established in the Decision to the Cooperation Council established by the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Communities, and their Member States, of the one part, and the Russian Federation, of the other part, of 24 July 1994, to establish rules of procedure for the settlement of disputes under that Agreement, adopted on 7 April 2004. Paragraph 1 of Article 4 of that Decision provides for the establishment by the Parties in the framework of the Cooperation Committee established under the Partnership Agreement, of an indicative list of conciliators for the settlement of disputes. In order to ensure the effective operation of the dispute settlement mechanisms provided for in Article 25 of the Protocol and Article 12 of the Agreement, the Commission and the Government of the Russian Federation agreed on the names of 15 individuals to be placed on the list of conciliators as provided in the Decision of the Cooperation Council on Dispute Settlement. |
