Abstract

The chapter discusses the limits that constitutional law in France imposes in relation to international investment treaties. It takes the decision by the French Conseil constitutionnel on the compatibility of the investor-State dispute settlement mechanisms contained in the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement concluded between Canada and the European Union with the French constitution as an example to illustrate one important aspect of the interplay between national constitutional law and international investment law, namely how constitutional courts control the constitutionality of investment treaties.
