Modifications are essential to solvency- the permutation can’t allow them
Merrills ’98 [J.G. Merrillis, Professor of Public Law University of Sheffield, 1998 “International Dispute Settlement” p.4]
When a government anticipates that a decision or a proposed course of action may harm another state discussion with the affected party can provide a way of heading off a dispute by creating an opportunity for adjustment and accommodation. Quite, minor modifications to its plans, of no importance to the state taking the decision, may be all that is required to avoid trouble, yet may only be apparent if the other side is given a chance to point them out. The particular value of consultation is that it supplies useful information at the most appropriate time - before anything has been done. For it is far easier to make the necessary modifications at the decision-making stage, rather than later, when exactly the same action may seem like capitulation to foreign pressure, or be sized on by critics as a sacrifice of domestic interests. A good example of the value of consultation is provided by the practice of the United States and Canada in anti-trust proceedings.
