Bilateral Investment Treaties establish the terms and conditions for investment by nationals and companies of one country in another. They set up a legally binding level of protection in order to encourage investment flows between two countries. Amongst other things they grant investors fair, equitable and non-discriminatory treatment, protection from unlawful expropriation and direct recourse to international arbitration.
The EU is the biggest player in the field of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). By 2008 outward stocks of FDI amounted to 3.3 trillion Euros while EU inward stocks accounted for 2.4 trillion Euros.
The Communication and the proposed Regulation are first steps in the development of a comprehensive European international investment policy that creates a coherent legal environment for investors. Its overall goal is to promote the EU's external competitiveness and to create growth and jobs.
