2/2 ...and here are the rules which apply to the arbitration process in such cases. 
Retaliation could concern access to fishing, fish tariffs or other tariffs. It must be proportionate. It must be notified a week in advance. An arbitration request has to follow within 2 weeks. Arbitration is fast tracked...> 3/2
