Enforcement of intra-EU BIT and ECT awards in third countries outside the EU
Panel Discussion: Enforcement of Intra-EU Investment Arbitration Awards Outside of the EU.
The European Dispute Resolution Society is pleased to announce its next event: The Enforcement of Intra-EU Investment Arbitration Awards Outside of the EU. Join us on 17 June 2025 at 18:00.
The fate of intra-EU investment arbitrations was seriously affected by the infamous Achmea judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in March 2018. Since then, the judgment's various effects reverberate on new and pending arbitral proceedings, and on the enforcement and recognition of arbitral awards in and outside of the EU. We are delighted that former UK CJEU Judge, Mr. Christopher Vajda QC will present a keynote on the development of the CJEU's position in the Achmea judgment and following case-law. Our experienced panellists will then focus the discussion on the practice and implications of recognition and enforcement of intra-EU investment arbitration awards in jurisdictions outside of the EU.
