This article-by-article Commentary on the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a vital resource for practitioners and academics in the field of EU investment protection law. CETA has been called a game-changer. In the investment chapter, it has introduced a number of key innovations, including; - the investment court system with an appellate tribunal, - guidelines on third party funding, - transparency and information sharing, - modern versions of standards of protection, and - detailed provisions on reservations and exceptions. Considering that the new dispute resolution provisions in this chapter have also passed the scrutiny of the Court of Justice of the European Union, it is expected that CETA's investment chapter will serve as a blueprint for future EU investment agreements and so a full understanding of this, offered by this useful commentary, is essential for lawyers.

The final text of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union was released on February 29, 2016. CETA sets out a more precise Fair and Equitable Treatment (FET) standard than was seen under past EU treaty practice. A list of state actions and behaviours constituting a breach of FET will be adopted. Efforts to give a more precise definition of FET are aimed at guiding and constraining the interpretation of this standard. These efforts are not limited to the issue of the FET standard and CETA, and may have broader implications. Greater precision may well become a key element of future investment protection agreement.

This book analyzes the investment chapter of a new type of trade agreement between Canada and the European Union to help readers gain a better understanding of this mega-regional deal, which includes foreign investment protection. It first provides background information on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), particularly focusing on the chapter on foreign investment, including the rules on the entry of investments, their protection and the stringent dispute settlement mechanism. It goes on to explore whether these provisions are a further step toward reforming the current international investment law regime. It also examines the highly innovative part of the agreement: the inclusion of crosscutting issues, such as sustainable development. In addition, it examines the CETA investment chapter from the perspective of non-contracting parties, including Africa, Asia and Latin America. The book is of interest to academics and students in the field of international investment law. It is also an essential resource for government legal advisers, policymakers, business practitioners, and others dealing with international investment law.
