This article examines the dispute settlement mechanism established under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the European Union and Canada. The mechanism in question is compared to other existing arbitral tribunals, such as those established under national BITs of EU Member States, and those adopted by the United States and Canada in their respective model BIT. NAFTA is also used as a term of comparison. The paper argues that in light of the innovations introduced by CETA, the latter creates a very advanced and carefully drafted system.
