Book excerpt: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is comprised of nine members, two ex officio members, and other members as appointed by the President representing major departments and agencies within the federal executive branch. While the group generally has operated in relative obscurity, the proposed acquisition of commercial operations at six U.S. ports by Dubai Ports World in 2006 placed the group's operations under intense scrutiny by Members of Congress and the public. Prompted by this case, some Members of the 109th and 110th Congresses questioned the ability of Congress to exercise its oversight responsibilities given the general view that CFIUS's operations lack transparency. Other Members revisited concerns about the linkage between national security and the role of foreign investment in the U.S. economy. Some Members of Congress and others argued that the nation's security and economic concerns have changed since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that these concerns were not being reflected sufficiently in the Committee's deliberations. In addition, anecdotal evidence seemed to indicate that the CFIUS process was not market neutral. Instead, a CFIUS investigation of an investment transaction may have been perceived by some firms and by some in the financial markets as a negative factor that added to uncertainty and may have spurred firms to engage in behavior that may not have been optimal for the economy as a whole. On July 12, 2016, Senator Charles Grassley introduced S. 3161 to include the Secretary of Agriculture as a permanent member of the CFIUS and to include the national security impact of foreign investments on agricultural assets as part of the criteria the Committee uses in deciding to recommend that the President block a foreign acquisition.

This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the ongoing recent expansion of public interest issues worldwide, the state’s right to regulate has been recaptured as a prominent concept in international investment law. The fair and equitable treatment (FET) standard provision in the text of an international investment agreement (IIA) has become a detailed clause clarifying the specific obligations of a state towards an investor under the FET standard. However, striking the right balance between the interests of host states and investors in these new treaty formulations has proved to be challenging. This book greatly clarifies the field by offering the in-depth analysis of the application of the state’s right to regulate in relation to FET standard provisions in IIAs and to decisions by arbitral tribunals in FET cases. Recognising that the role of tribunals is to balance the state’s public interests and the interests of the investor when interpreting and applying the FET standard, the author pursues such seminal issues and topics as the following: the legitimacy of the objective of the state’s measure; obligations and responsibilities of investors towards a host state; the nature and impact of a change to a national regulatory framework; special economic and sociopolitical circumstances in a host state; and due diligence and risk assessment as a condition for the protection of an investor’s legitimate expectations. Multiple IIAs concluded by the OECD Member States, as well by Russia and China between the developing countries, and the prominent investment law cases on the FET standard are examined in detail. The analysis pays particular attention to how investment jurisprudence in FET cases has been reflected in such new IIAs as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the European Union (EU) and Canada (CETA), the EU-Vietnam FTA and the EU-Singapore FTA. These case studies demonstrate the evolution of the IIAs’ FET standard provisions and how they balance the application of the FET standard and the state’s right to regulate. Suggestions are provided for drafting formulations of the FET standard that can contribute to achieving such a balance. In the clear light it sheds on the legal conditions under which states may regulate in the public interest and its contribution to the reforms that are currently taking place in the field of international investment law, this book constitutes an exemplary framework to evaluate investment decisions on the FET standard and the right to regulate. It is sure to prove extremely useful for practitioners who work on investment cases, policymakers involved in negotiating and drafting of IIAs, policy advisors of governmental and non-governmental organisations and academics in international investment law.

Policy Toward International Investment: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on International Economic Policy of the Committee on Foreign Relations; United States Senate; Ninety-Seventh Congress; First Session The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:21 a. m., in room 4221, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Charles McC. Mathias (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Mathias, Tsongas, and Dodd. The Chairman. The subcommittee will come to order. The Chair wants to extend his apologies to the witnesses and others in the room for being a little late. I had several earlier appointments that did not conclude at the time they were supposed to. The Subcommittee on International Economic Policy today is holding oversight hearings which are the first in a series on U. S. policy toward international investment. By "international investment" we intend to comprehend both inward investment and outward investment. The hearing today will focus on "performance requirements," the local content and minimum export requirements imposed by foreign governments on U. S. businesses that are investing abroad. We are fortunate to have with us today a distinguished panel. I would announce that those who will be testifying are: Mr. Rowland H. Thomas, Jr., on behalf of the American Electronics Association; Mr. Alan W. Wolff, on behalf of the Labor Industry Coalition for International Trade; and Mr. C. Fred Bergsten, of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Gentlemen, how would you like to proceed? [Pause]. The Chairman. Before you do proceed, gentlemen, let me announce that we are also glad to have with us Mr. Brian Turner of the Industrial Union Department of the AFL-CIO and Mr. Allan Cors of Corning Glass Works, both veterans of Capitol Hill. I hope, they will feel free to take part in our discussion. Fred, why don't you lead off. Mr. Bergsten. I would be glad to begin, Mr. Chairman.
