ARTICLE 5
Expropriation
(1)
Investors of either Contracting Party shall not
be deprived of their investments nor subjected to measures
having effect equivalent to such deprivation in the area of
the other Contracting Party except lawfully, for a public
purpose related to the internal needs of that Party, and
against compensation. Such compensation shall amount to
the real value of the investment immediately before the
deprivation or before the impending deprivation became
public knowledge whichever is the earlier, shall include
interest at a normal commercial rate until the date of
payment, shall be made without undue delay, be effectively
realizable and be freely convertible. The investor
affected shall have a right, under the law of the
Contracting Party making the deprivation, to prompt review
by a judicial or other independent authority of that Party,
of the investor's case and of the valuation of the
investment in accordance with the principles set out in
this paragraph.
