48 provisions changed · 14 provisions added · 16 provisions removed · 2 provisions in the supplementary provisions · 49 articles renumbered

Each provision the amendment changes, as it will read: the words it adds are underlined, and a bar marks where it removes words. “Show removed words” strikes those through in place; “Before and after” sets the two wordings side by side. A provision that only moves to another number says the number it had. The Japanese is the law; the icon beside each English column says whose English it is. The 49 articles it renumbers are marked with the number each had before.

In this case, the arbitral tribunal must decide to hold the oral hearings and notify both the parties of the date, time and place.
