The detail of the arbitration mechanisms contained in the EU-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will be the result of on-going negotiations between the EU and the US.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Any arbitration conducted under the EU-US FTA would involve a fair and transparent procedure, with a range of public and private sector participants including, EU and Member States, investors and arbitrators, with all parties to the dispute able to appoint their own lawyers.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Arbitration proceedings under an international investment treaty are typically carried out on an ad hoc basis, with the tribunal constituted solely for the purpose of resolving a single dispute. The costs of the arbitration are apportioned according to the arbitrators\u2019 findings. Disputing parties may rely upon an international institution, such as the World Bank or the United Nations to provide the procedural rules for the tribunal. These services are provided on a non-profit basis.<\/p>

Figures for the academic year 2014/15 are provisional, as they are effective at November at the beginning of the academic year, and so will not include applicants who were awarded Maintenance Grants after November 2014. Complete figures for the academic year 2014/15 will be available from November 2015.<\/p> (4) Applicants awarded a partial grant, and whose household income is less than £25,000, are typically those who have suspended study for part of the year.<\/p>"}
