Under Articles 16 and 17 of the FTA, the United States and Jordan have incorporated a multi-step consultation and dispute settlement process similar to the United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement and consistent with World Trade Organization commitments. Any disputes must try to be resolved first through consultation and will then be referred to the Joint Committee if unresolved. The dispute will be referred to a dispute settlement panel consisting of three members who will determine a non-binding opinion. This report from the dispute panel is then taken into consideration when the Joint Committee determines its final ruling. If the dispute is not settled by the committee, the affected Party ”shall be entitled to take appropriate and commensurate measures.”
