<p>The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership’s (CPTPP’s)
investment chapter includes investor protections that are backed by a modern and transparent
investor state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism. These commitments guarantee the
treatment investors will receive when accessing and operating in CPTPP markets and
provides an independent form of legal redress should investors not receive such treatment.</p><p>The
UK already has investment agreements containing ISDS provisions with seven of the
eleven CPTPP countries: Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
Having ISDS provisions in a treaty is not new for the UK with the majority of CPTPP
countries.</p><p>In light of the investment relationship the UK has with Australia
and New Zealand, we have agreed to disapply the ISDS provisions in CPTPP between our
countries.</p>
