Can I ask why we need them? My understanding, which again is maybe a rather blunt understanding of investor-state provisions, is that those are necessary when you're dealing with a jurisdiction that does not have a domestic court process that respects the rule of law or is free of corruption and that sort of thing.
We're dealing with the EU here. Why would we give multinational corporations special preference in law over the rights of domestic investors? What's the rationalization for that?
