- a)the measures are taken in the public interest and under due process of law;
- b)the measures are not discriminatory;
- c)the measures are accompanied by provision for the payment of adequate compensation. Such compensation shall amount to the market value of the relevant investments immediately before the measures were taken or the impending measures were publicly announced and shall include interest at a normal commercial rate until the date of payment.
