The confusing news that have circulated in Spain after the Achmea judgement of the CJEU (March 6, 2018) are making many people believe –including legal practitioners– that the EU is contrary to arbitration. The truth is that the Achmea Judgement only refers to investment arbitration and exclusively concerns arbitration at an intra-EU level. Other types of arbitration, which are the vast majority, have neither been rejected by the CJEU, nor by the EC. On the contrary, they have been recognized and praised by both institutions which, in certain cases, have included arbitration in texts of secondary law as an efficient way of settling disputes. This article presents in a critical way the above mentioned ruling as well as the current position of the EU with regard to investment arbitration.
