        Abstract

Recent decisions of European and national courts, as well as those of arbitral tribu-
nals, concerning the Achmea saga seem to be plentiful enough to draw preliminary
conclusions as to the relationship between EU law, intra-EU international invest-
ment agreements (IIAS) and the national laws of EU-Member States. In order to get
the proper picture of the situation, however, it is necessary not only to analyse the
recent decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and their con-
sequences from these three perspectives, but, equally, to understand how they interact
with each other. Such an analysis indicates the real possibility of the emergence of a
rift between the practice of the EU and national courts rejecting the validity of invest-
ment arbitration agreements, on the one hand, and investment tribunals, on the other.
In any case, such a divergence would put into question the IIAs' claim to provide a
stable regulatory framework for international investments in the EU, which, in turn,
would strengthen the argument for termination of intra-EU I IAS.
