On January 28, 2014, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) published in the Federal Register an invitation for applications for inclusion on the US-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA) dispute settlement rosters. The US-Panama TPA calls for the Parties to establish four rosters of individuals that would be available to serve as panelists in dispute settlement proceedings arising under the TPA. A general roster is required to be established under Chapter Twenty (Dispute Settlement). Chapter Twelve (Financial Services), Chapter Sixteen (Labor), and Chapter Seventeen (Environment) require the establishment of separate rosters for disputes arising under those chapters. USTR is inviting interested persons to apply to be on any of the rosters under the TPA, as indicated in the notice. Applications should be received no later than March 14, 2014 to be assured of consideration. |
