EBRD Comments on the Initial Report on the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Policy Development Process

["Gheorghe, Andrei" <GheorghA@xxxxxxxx>]

OFFICIAL USE

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) fully supports the 
comprehensive arguments submitted by the OECD.  Particularly, the EBRD stresses 
that the working group's elaborations on its recommendation #4 treat in an 
offhand manner the significant likely effect of retaining the mutual 
jurisdiction clause on the privileges and immunities granted to IGOs by their 
member states.  Additionally, the EBRD notes that arbitration is a widely 
accepted and used method of dispute resolution, and one which is in this 
instance appropriate in recognition of the international character of IGOs.
With kind regards,
Andrei Gheorghe
Office of the General Counsel
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
