The ever-expanding Energy Charter Treaty and the power it gives corporations to halt the energy transition.

L‘expansion constante du Traité de la Charte de l‘énergie, et le pouvoir qu’il donne aux entreprises pour s‘opposer à la transition énergétique.

El Tratado sobre la Carta de la Energía, en constante ampliación, garantiza a las corporaciones poderes para frenar la transición energética

New report exposes how the little-known Energy Charter Treaty gives corporations the power to halt the energy transition. And how it is being expanded, threatening to bind yet more countries to corporate-friendly energy policies.

Pakistan may be at the risk of new investment arbitration lawsuits if it formally signs an international Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) under which powerful investors have already sued other states for $35 billion at various global tribunals.

Tras la pérdida por parte de España de varias demandas de arbitraje de inversiones sobre las reformas normativas de las energías renovables, España quiere que el Tribunal de Justicia Europeo (TJUE) determine si la cláusula de arbitraje invocando el Tratado de la Carta de la Energía es inválida en virtud de la sentencia en el caso Achmea.

A Belgian court has lifted a freeze on about $21.5 billion (16.2 billion pounds) in Kazakhstan’s National fund assets imposed after a dispute with a Moldovan businessman, the Kazakh justice ministry said.

La décision Achmea met sur la sellette les 196 traités bilatéraux d’investissement qui ont été souscrits entre les États membres de l’Union européenne et les clauses d’arbitrage entre investisseurs et États incluses dans les traités comme le CETA ou la Charte de l’énergie.

The amount of the frozen assets, when compared to the US$520 million court award, is pretty hefty, unprecedented.

The Stati Parties have requested to enforce the award issued in their favor including by attaching Kazakh state commercial assets in the United States.
