"As one of the authors of the resolution I strongly supported this motion. I believe it is essential to refer the Canadian trade deal to the European Court of Justice in order to establish if the Commission’s Investment Court System proposal is compatible with the EU treaties. This is the first EU trade deal which includes a form of ISDS and is with a country that has as robust and developed a judicial system as our own. These Investor Protection Courts appoint their own judges and are not answerable to national or EU courts. President Juncker in one of his first speeches in the Parliament said ‘my Commission will not accept that the jurisdiction of courts in the EU Member States be limited by special regimes for investor-state disputes’ yet this is precisely what is happening. Ireland is the only country in the EU which does not have these Investor Protection Courts in any bilateral trade agreements, yet we will leave ourselves open to multimillion euro claims in these special courts if the trade deal is ratified. This resolution is not anti—CETA and is merely asking for legal certainty on this important issue."@en1
