Art. 59 Elimination of incompatibilities

1 If in implementing an international agreement, it is found that a restraint of competition is incompatible with that agreement, the Department may in consultation with the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs propose an amicable settlement to the parties involved so as to eliminate the incompatibility.

2 If an amicable settlement cannot be reached in time and one party to the agreement threatens to take protective measures against Switzerland, the Department may in consultation with the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs determine the measures necessary to eliminate the restraint of competition in a ruling.
