Summary/Abstract: The Treaty of Lisbon conferred new exclusive competence in the field of foreign direct investments on the European Union. It seems that 50-year-old fragmented system of investment law, based on bilateral investment treaties, took a new direction towards a comprehensive European international investment policy. Popularity and efficiency of international investment agreements derive mainly from the concept of investor-state dispute resolution (investment arbitration). New competences of the EU significantly impact on the resolution of disputes.
