ETUCE Guidelines to the EC’s public consultation on modalities for investment protection and ISDS in TTIP

published 16 June 2014 updated 18 June 2014

The European Commission runs a public consultation on investment protection and investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in TTIP until 6 July 2014. ETUCE strongly encourage all member organisations to respond to the consultation. Therefore, ETUCE has drafted a set of guidelines to the European Commission’s public consultation on modalities for investment protection and ISDS in TTIP.

The public consultation was launched after very substantial criticisms on investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in TTIP – the granting of legal rights to private investors to sue governments before arbitration panels. As a result, foreign investors are given legal rights to challenge any regulatory or policy measure of the host-state it feels violates its rights to access a market.

The European Commission runs this public consultation in all official EU languages.
