It is all in EU law?

Investment protection and investor-state dispute settlement within the EU are undergoing a fundamental shift after the European Court of Justice ruled the bilateral investment treaties between the EU Member States to be in breach of EU law. The presentation will discuss the future of intra-EU investment law, the upcoming developments as well as remaining unclarities and the possible problems in the time after the bilateral investment treaties.
