international investment agreements and a growing number of arbitrations. The European
Union is committed to sustainable development, and has just recently gained
jurisdiction over investment law, which may lead to new investment treaty negotiations
with partner countries. Several new legal research initiatives are also being
launched. What are the next steps for sustainable development in investment treaties,
in arbitrations, and in other international regimes? What is new in this field, at
key areas of overlap? What legal research is overdone, and what more is needed?
What are the challenges and opportunities?
Through three legal experts panels, and a roundtable of leading figures in investment
law, practitioners and scholars will discuss new developments and directions
for investment treaty practice and jurisprudence, and identify key areas for a future
legal research agenda for sustainable development and investment law. The event
will close with a Book Launch Reception for MC Cordonier Segger, M Gehring & A
Newcombe (eds.), Sustainable Development in World Investment Law (Kluwer Law
International, 2010), to which Seminar speakers and participants contributed.

Canada threatening WTO challenge over EU's proposed restrictions/rankings on product from Cdn oil sands
http://ht.ly/4sQSz BRUSSELS — The Canadian government has stepped up lobbying in Europe for its oil sands industry, repeating its threats of trade conflict, a leaked letter shows. The letter dated March 18 to Europe’s commissioners for climate, trade and energy follows Canada’s denial it threatened to scrap a free trade deal unless the European Union alters planned environmental laws. "Given the desire for freer trade between us, it is important that our individual efforts to address climate change do not lead to the creation of unnecessary barriers," Canadian trade official Mark Richardson said in a document sent with the letter. "The Government of Canada believes this approach raises the prospect of unjustified discrimination and is not supported by the science." The dispute centres around EU plans to make fuel suppliers reduce the carbon footprint of fuels by 6% over the next decade. The EU is now fine-tuning a ranking of fuels to help suppliers identify the most carbon-intensive imports.
