Abstract

Makale AB içi ve dışı uluslararası yatırım anlaşmaları tarafından kurulan alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm mekanizmalarının AB hukuk düzeninin özerkliğine uygunluğu meselesini irdelemektedir. Bu bağlamda Achmea Kararı ve 1/17 Sayılı Mütalaa başta olmak üzere AB hukuk düzeninin özerkliği ilkesi ışığında şekillenen ve AB hukuk düzeninin anayasallaşması sürecinin önemli basamaklarını teşkil eden ABAD içtihadının hukuki sonuçlarını AB hukuku ve uluslararası hukuk boyutlarıyla tartışmakta, mevcut, sona erdirilmiş veya gelecekteki iki veya çok taraflı AB içi ve dışı anlaşmalara etkisini ABAD’ın uluslararası mahkemelere karşı sahip olduğu münhasır yargı yetkisi çerçevesinde analiz etmektedir.

Compatibility of the Dispute Settlement Mechanisms Established in the Intra-EU and Extra-EU Investment Agreements with the Autonomy of the EU Legal Order

Abstract

The Article discusses the compatibility of the alternative dispute settlement mechanisms established by the intra-EU and extra-EU international investment agreements with the autonomy of the EU legal order. In that respect, it explores the legal consequences of the European case law, in particular the seminal Achmea Judgment and Opinion 1/17, which, as constituting the signifying steps of the constitutionalisation of the EU Legal order, has been given in the light of the principle of autonomy of the EU legal order both under EU and international laws and analyses its legal effects within the framework of the exclusive jurisdiction of the JEU vis-a-vis international courts on the current, terminated or potential intra-EU and extra-EU bilateral or multilateral agreements.

Keywords

Autonomy of the EU Legal Order, Interpretation and Application of EU Law, Jurisdiction; Investment Arbitration, Intra-EU and Extra-EU Agreements
