Presentation of a study comparing investment chapters of the EU's international trade

Brussels

Prof. Dr. Steffen Hindelang (Department of Law at the Freie Universität Berlin) presented a study comparing investment chapters of the EU's international trade and investment agreements.

The study compares the investment chapters of the EU/Singapore FTA, EU/Canada CETA, the 1998 Energy charter treaty, the 2001 USA-Lithuania bilateral investment treaty and the 2010 Germany-Jordan bilateral investment treaty. The author underlined that the provision of the EU agreements are more comprehensive on the standards and investment protection than bilateral ones concluded by the EU's member states or the Energy Charter.
