It was outlined that, whereas the Opinion strengthens the role of the EU as an international actor, the analysis of the CJEU is partially inconsistent with its previous case-law and opens the debate up for further questions.
Professor Dr. Antonis Metaxas was invited as Speaker in this important scientific Conference on Opinion 1/17 and Autonomy panel. His analysis focused on the autonomy of EU legal order and its correlation with international investment protection through arbitration.
