Paragraph 1 – point d – point xiv
(xiv) to ensure that foreign investors are treated in a non-discriminatory fashion and have a fair opportunity to seek and achieve redress of grievances, which can be achieved without the inclusion of an ISDS mechanism; such a mechanism is not necessary in TTIP givenincluding through effective dispute settlement mechanisms. To this effect, TTIP should include appropriate and coherent state-to-state and investor-to-state dispute settlement mechanisms that are consistent with the right of the EU’s and the US’ developed legal systems; a state-to- state dispute settlement system and the use of national courts are the most appropriate tools to address inveits Member States to preserve and pursue legitimate public policy objectives. In this context, the negotiation on an investment arbitration mechanism should ensure satisfactory results with regard to the preservation of the right of the EU and its Member States to regulate to achieve public policy objectives; enhanced transparency of arbitral proceedings; the independence of arbitrators; ensuring the consistency of arbitral awards, by means such as providing for the possibility of appeal; and a relationship between ISDS and domestic judicial systems that is consistment disputeswith the jurisdiction of courts in the EU;
