of November 11, 1997 No. C-1/1-97

(extraction)

The state arbitration of the Republic of Armenia appealed to Economic Court with request about interpretation of part 2 of Item 3 of the Regulations on Economic Court approved by the Agreement of Council of heads of states of the Commonwealth of Independent States of July 6, 1992. The specified part of Item 3 of the Provision provides that "by agreements of the State Parties of the Commonwealth other disputes connected with execution of agreements and other acts of the Commonwealth adopted on their basis can be carried to maintaining Economic Court". In this regard the State Arbitration of the Republic of Armenia asks to give interpretation regarding what possible disputes are implied by the concept "other disputes" and also what matters of argument and between what State Parties of the Commonwealth can be resolved by Economic Court.

The analysis of the adopted in the Commonwealth of agreements and other acts, their jurisdictional clauses allowed Economic Court to draw the following conclusions.

Use of the concept "other disputes" regarding the 2nd Item 3 of the Regulations on Economic Court is connected with the fact that part of 1 same Item determines competence of Court by exact specifying of the list of disputes subordinated to it. As obligatory jurisdiction of Economic Court two categories of interstate economic disputes are provided here:

the disputes arising in case of execution of the economic obligations provided by agreements, decisions of Council of heads of states, Council of Heads of Government and other its institutes;

disputes on compliance of normative and other acts of the State Parties of the Commonwealth adopted on economic problems, agreements and other acts of the Commonwealth.
