Recital 2
(2) It is essential that the Union possesses appropriate instruments to ensure the effective exercise of the Union's rights under international trade agreements, in order to safeguard its economic interests. This is particularly the case in situations where third countries enact trade restrictive measures that diminish the benefits accruing to the Union's economic operators under international trade agreements. The Union should be in a position to react swiftly and in a flexible manner in the context of the procedures and deadlines set out by the international trade agreements which it has concluded. The Union should therefore adopt legislation defining the framework for exercising the Union's rights in certain specific situations, ensuring that the resources available are efficiently used.

Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) The WTO and other, including regional or bilateral, dispute settlement mechanisms aim at finding a positive solution to any disputes arising between the Union and the other party or parties to those agreements. The Union should, nevertheless, suspend concessions or other obligations, in accordance with those dispute settlement rules, when other avenues to find a positive solution to a dispute have proven unsuccessful. Action by the Union in such cases serves the purpose of inducing compliance of the third country concerned with the relevant international trade rules, in order to restore a situation of reciprocal benefits. The Union should always use the most efficient dispute settlement mechanism available, regardless of the status of Free Trade Agreement negotiations potentially taking place in parallel.
