  • T&E’s submission to the Commission’s public consultation on ISDS

    T&E strongly disagrees with the European Commission objectives and approach in relation to the inclusion of investment protection in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) through the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism.

    We believe that the proposed reforms will not solve any fundamental flaws of ISDS, and in our view, they never can, since the whole concept of ISDS undermines the rule of law by bypassing regular courts. Hence, ISDS should be excluded from TTIP and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.
