Achmea versus the Rule of Law: CJEU’s Dogmatic Dismissal of Investors’ Rights in Backsliding Member States of the European Union

We demonstrate that the CJEU’s Achmea judgment has resulted in significantly more damage beyond the termination of intra-EU BITs. It made the application of EU law difficult, if not impossible. Indeed, it has opened the floodgate to deficient judicial protection in the face of structural backsliding of the rule of law in some EU Member States. While the motives of the CJEU and by extension the European Commission to safeguard their ultimate control over the internal market by exclusively relying on the preliminary ruling system of integrated European judiciary may be understandable, they cannot serve as a credible justification for the long-term consequences of disempowering investors in the name of an ideological stance regarding EU judiciary, which cannot work in the backsliding Member States, where the ‘integration of the EU’s judiciary’ could stand for the absence of independent adjudication. Consequently, the Achmea judgment and post-Achmea developments such as the recently signed Termination Agreement to terminate the intra-EU BITs have been leading to significant—possibly irreparable in the short- to medium-term—lowering of the procedural and substantive protection standards for European investors in times when they are in need of more rather than less protection.

阿奇米亚与法治:欧洲法院在欧盟倒退成员国中教条化地剥夺了投资者的权利

我们证明了CEUAchmea判决已导致欧盟内部BIT终止后造成更多损失。即使不是没有可能,这也使欧盟法律的适用变得困难。确实,面对某些欧盟成员国法治的结构性倒退,它为缺乏司法保护打开了闸门。尽管可以理解欧洲法院的动机以及进一步扩展的欧洲委员会通过完全依靠欧洲司法机构的初步裁决体系来维护对内部市场的最终控制的动机,但它们不能作为长期后果的可靠依据。以关于欧盟司法制度的意识形态立场剥夺了投资者的权力,这种思想立场无法在落后的成员国中发挥作用,“欧盟司法系统的整合”可能代表着缺乏独立裁决的地方。因此,阿奇米亚(Achmea)的判决和阿奇米亚(Achmea)事态发展,例如最近签署的终止欧盟内部BIT的《终止协议》,已经导致欧洲投资者的程序性和实质性保护标准大大降低,这在中短期内是无法弥补的。他们需要更多而不是更少的保护的时代。
