A framework for managing financial responsibility linked to investor-state dispute settlement tribunals established by international agreements to which the EU is party

This procedure aims to create a clear system for managing the financial liabilities that arise from investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) tribunals. It ensures that when the EU or its member states are ordered to pay compensation under international investment agreements, there is a fair and transparent way to distribute these costs.

This affects EU member states and foreign investors. It establishes the rules for how financial burdens are shared between the EU and the countries involved in specific investment disputes.
