In October 2019, the European Commission (the "Commission") presented four proposals (the "Proposals") to the Council of the European Union (the "Council") with specific rules to establish the Investment Court System ("ICS") envisaged under the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement ("CETA"). If the Council and the EU Member States approve the Proposals, the EU will seek to agree them with Canada. The Proposals would enter into force upon the ratification of the CETA by all EU Member States.
We discuss the content of those proposals in our new blog piece, published on our Public International Law blog here.
