It begins by briefly setting out the arguments of Advocate General Wathelet and the CJEU supporting their different positions on whether intra-EU BITs ISA clauses are compatible with EU law. The article then proceeds to analyse Achmea’s implications for intra-EU BIT ISA. It concludes that, as a result of the CJEU’s ruling, arbitral tribunals are deprived of their jurisdiction to entertain investors’ claims brought under intra-EU BIT ISA clauses. Finally, the article argues that Achmea’s applicability to cases brought under intra-EU BIT ISA clauses is limited, using the application of EU law as a relevant qualification. In order for an arbitral tribunal to be deprived of its jurisdictional competence as a result of Achmea, it must be entitled to interpret and apply EU law directly or indirectly in determining its jurisdiction.}, type={Article}, title={The Impact of Achmea on Investor-State Arbitration under Intra-EU BITs: A Treaty Law Perspective}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/117543/PDF/10_Georgaki.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pyil.2020.134482}, keywords={Achmea, arbitral tribunal, intra-EU BITs, Investor State Arbitration, jurisdiction}, }
