Arbitration

§ 30

(2) The arbitrator is a citizen to whom the organisation has chosen by written agreement for the decision of a particular dispute and who has given his consent to the choice. The organisation shall elect an arbitrator for the decision of a particular dispute, in particular if there is a dispute in which the arbitrator's specific knowledge and experience (economic, technical, organisational, etc.) may be used.
