The beginning of May 2020 marked a tectonic shift in the field of investment arbitration. On 5 May 2020, 23 EU Member States signed a plurilateral agreement to terminate the nearly 130 intra-EU bilateral investment treaties (\u201c<\/span>intra-EU BITs<\/strong>\u201d) in force between them (“<\/span>Termination Agreement<\/strong>“).<\/span>[1]<\/a><\/p>

The Termination Agreement was prompted by the landmark 2018 Achmea <\/em>decision (C-284\/16) of the European Court of Justice (\u201cECJ<\/strong>\u201d), declaring arbitration clauses in intra-EU BITs incompatible with EU law.<\/p>

Beside putting an end to intra-EU investment arbitrations, the Termination Agreement also abrogated so-called sunset clauses included in numerous intra-EU BITs. Sunset clauses or survival clauses would have otherwise extended the protections enjoyed by existing investments for 5, 10 or even 20 years following the termination of all intra-EU BITs.<\/p>

Entering into force on 29 August 2020 and ratified by all its signatories by August 2022,[2]<\/a> the Termination Agreement sounded the death knell for intra-EU BITs. Or so it seemed.<\/p>

However, the news broke recently that a Bulgarian financial services group Eurohold and its insurance arm Euroins Insurance Group (EIG) had lodged a request for arbitration against Romania at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) on 21 May 2024.[3]<\/a> The claimants allegedly rely on the sunset clause found in the Bulgaria-Romania BIT to overcome the Termination Agreement and extend the effect of the BIT. The dispute arose when in March 2023, Romania\u2019s financial regulator ASF revoked the operating licence of EIG\u2019s subsidiary Euroins Romania \u2013 a Romanian car insurer \u2013 \u201cnoting indications that the company is in a state of insolvency<\/em>\u201d.[4]<\/a> ASF also initiated bankruptcy proceedings against the car insurer company before Romanian courts. According to press information, Eurohold and EIG served a notice of dispute on Romania already in October 2023,[5]<\/a> and they have now followed up on their threat to bring the matter before ICSID.<\/p>

The case will undoubtedly attract considerable attention as it raises the issue of whether EU Member States\u2019 purported termination of sunset clauses in intra-EU BITs is effective or not. It has been a matter of debate even before the adoption of the Termination Agreement, whether States may abolish the legal effect of sunset clauses by mutual termination of intra-EU BITs.<\/p>

On the one hand, the view supporting the power of States to extinguish sunset clauses has been based on the general principle of treaty law that States are the \u2018masters\u2019 of their treaties. This principle is expressed in Article 54(b) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (\u201cVCLT<\/strong>\u201d), which provides that the termination of a treaty may take place \u201cat any time by consent of all the parties after consultation with the other contracting States<\/em>\u201d.[6]<\/a> It follows that States are arguably free to amend, suspend and even completely terminate a treaty with immediate effect (including the sunset clause in such a treaty), if they so agree by mutual consent. The idea that sunset clauses may be renegotiated, modified, or even abolished just like any other treaty clause has been at least prima facie<\/em> endorsed by some arbitration tribunals.[7]<\/a><\/p>

On the other hand, others support the view that the possibility of abrogating sunset clauses would undermine the very purpose of such clauses, which is to provide stability and protect investors\u2019 expectations against a sudden termination of the BIT. It has also been argued that BITs confer rights directly upon investors at the time of making their investments. It follows that investors cannot be retroactively deprived of rights which have been \u2018vested\u2019 or \u2018directly acquired\u2019 under the BIT even by the mutual consent of the contracting States. The idea of \u2018directly acquired\u2019 rights has for example found support in the tribunal\u2019s recent decision in Adria Group v. Croatia<\/em>.[8]<\/a><\/p>

The arbitral tribunal in Eurohold and EIG v. Romania<\/em>, if constituted, will most probably face some of the above arguments in deciding whether it has jurisdiction based on the sunset clause of the Bulgaria-Romania BIT despite the Termination Agreement.<\/p>

Also, much may depend on the interpretation of the terms of the sunset clause in the Bulgaria-Romania BIT. Arguably, Article 12 of the Bulgaria-Romania BIT is similar to most sunset clauses that appear to limit their applicability to unilateral termination, referring to the \u201cnotice of denunciation<\/em>\u201d of the BIT provided by one contracting party to the other.[9]<\/a> If this interpretation were correct, arguably the sunset clause would not be triggered by mutual termination and investors would not benefit from protection under the Bulgaria-Romania BIT after the mutual termination of the latter.<\/p>

As for now, it remains to be seen whether Eurohold and EIG\u2019s claim passes the first muster and gets registered by the Secretary-General of ICSID.[10]<\/a> The Secretary-General conducts a preliminary review of the claim and registers the request for arbitration unless she finds that the dispute is manifestly outside the jurisdiction of ICSID.[11]<\/a><\/p>

If ICSID registers the claim, this may open the door for other investors to try their luck based on sunset clauses in intra-EU BITs. After all, the mere possibility of a successful arbitration appears to be the last ray of hope for many, given that investors\u2019 possibilities for asserting their intra-EU claims have been rather limited since the entry into force of the Termination Agreement. In any event, sunset clauses may only postpone the end of intra-EU BIT based arbitration by 5, 10 or 20 years based on their respective terms. Therefore, while the fate of Eurohold and EIG\u2019s claim will be closely watched, there appears to remain a growing demand from investors for the creation of a new European investor-State dispute settlement regime, which would provide a permanent neutral forum for the adjudication of their intra-EU claims.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
