Some MEPs are in favour of reforming the current international arbitration mechanism by introducing a series of improvements such as greater transparency, appeals and a code of conduct for arbitrators. Other MEPs have concerns that the awards granted by such tribunals can have a deterrent effect on regulators and are therefore against such a mechanism and some are see a permanent investment court staffed by permanent judges as the solution.


Under the point on "Structured Dialogue between the European Parliament and the Commission", the Trade Commissioner will also discuss with INTA Members initiatives put forward by the Commission in it's work programme to be launched in 2016.
