<p> </p><p>The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has commissioned research
into Investor State Dispute Clauses (ISDS), reviewed academic research, consulted
external experts and carried out its own internal analysis on investment provisions.
The UK currently has over 90 investment protection agreements with other countries.
There has been no successful action against the UK in respect of any of these agreements.
ISDS provisions in investment and trade treaties can help to create a positive investment
climate. The ISDS provisions in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
are still under negotiation. We believe these provisions must strike the right balance
between protecting investors and the host nation's right to regulate and determine
policy and also provide transparency of process. A balanced ISDS clause in TTIP could
act as a model for future trade and investment agreements.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
