3. Mexico fully concurs with the US submissions stated in its counter memqrial (,1,1 245-263) with respect the interpretation of Article 1139(h). In Mexico's submission, the Tribunal should take into account Article 1101 (1) as part of the context to correctly interpret Article 1139(h).

Article 1101(1) has been correctly described as "the gateway leading to the dispute resolution provisions of Chapter 11 ".¹ It is also the gateway to the entirety of Chapter Eleven as it establishes and places limits on its "scope and coverage". Article 1101(1) is thus a necessary component of the context required to interpret Article 1139(h).
