3. Representatives

   At the first sitting elect the speaker and deputy speaker from their own members. Any representative may nominate a candidate; the first round requires three fifths of all elected members, the second a simple majority of all members, and the third is a runoff between the two leading candidates. The runner-up becomes deputy speaker.

• Under Statute Article 1(6), all institutions must comply with the Arbitral Tribunal awards and Supervisory Orders, which prevail over conflicting acts, including the Statute. The Order of 31 August 2012 records suspension of the exercise of supervisory functions while retaining the Supervisor’s authority to resume them at his or her discretion. This is not an ordinary government confirmation step.
