Comisia Europeană investighează hotărârea arbitrală prin care România este obligată să despăgubească 10 firme care au investit în 5 centrale solare fotovoltaice / Despăgubirile depășesc 42 de milioane de euro
The European Commission has initiated an in-depth investigation into a ruling requiring Romania to compensate investors due to changes in renewable energy support measures. The investigation will assess compliance with EU state aid rules. A tribunal found Romania violated the Energy Charter Treaty, ordering compensation of €42.2 million. The Commission's preliminary view suggests the ruling constitutes state aid incompatible with the internal market. The investigation allows Romania and interested parties to provide comments. The case highlights the conflict between EU law and intra-EU arbitration agreements.
