Like a tightrope walker, the Court is engaging in a delicate balancing act in its Opinion 1/17, seeking a path of compatibility of the ICS with the treaties that will allow it not to compromise its requirement of compliance with the Constitutional Charter of the European Union.With a benevolent interpretation of the provisions of the CETA and the acts accompanying its development, it stipulates the obligations that the EU institutions will have to fulfil to ensure the implementation of Chapter 8 Section F of the CETA, and its long-term compatibility with EU law. In doing so, it validates the European model of the investor-State dispute settlement mechanism, enabling it to be applied in other bilateral agreements and, eventually, on a multilateral basis.
