Investment Protection. The agreement contains provisions liberalising FDI and protecting investments between the EU and Mexico through a comprehensive approach covering both services and non- services sectors. The chapter enables the establishment and operation of enterprises in the territory of each Party, guaranteeing market access as well as non-discriminatory treatment. Performance requirements, such as local content or transfer of technology requirements, as a condition for the establishment or operation of enterprises, are prohibited. Comprehensive liberalisation commitments are undertaken through a hybrid list approach (a negative list for discriminatory treatment and a positive list for market access). Market access commitments will apply to both services and other sectors such as manufacturing and basic industries. The liberalisation of FDI achieved by these provisions is complimented by commitments allowing for the free movement of capital and transfer and payments necessary for the proper functioning of an investment. Safeguard measures can be applied if justified by e.g. balance of payments or monetary problems, under the same conditions as those allowed by the WTO and EU Treaties. The investment protection provisions are based on clear and precise standards which provide basic guarantees that governments will respect certain fundamental principles of treatment that a foreign investor may rely upon when making a decision to invest in the EU and Mexico. These guarantees include non-discrimination, no expropriation without prompt and adequate compensation, and a general guarantee of fair and equitable treatment and physical security. The FTA defines precisely when governments are in breach of the fair and equitable treatment obligation and removes the scope for discretionary interpretation by tribunals. The liberalisation commitments in this Agreement go substantially beyond those of the previous agreement and will in particular bind the recent opening of Mexico's energy sector. The protection of investment is extended beyond the existing 17 bilateral investment treaties to the remaining EU Member States, ensuring equality of treatment and opportunities for all EU investors.
