Poland prevails in investment dispute with Nordzucker AG

December 2009. Press Releases by Domanski Zakrzewski Palinka (view listing).

On 23 November 2009 an arbitral tribunal issued the final award in a case brought against Poland by Nordzucker AG. Nordzucker requested compensation for Poland withdrawing from the sale of several Polish sugar plants during the privatisation of the Polish sugar sector in 2000-2001. Although Nordzucker had acquired sugar plants giving it an 8% share in the Polish sugar market, the investor stated that it had had legitimate expectations of acquiring further sugar plants comprising the so-called Gdansk Group and the Szczecin Group, which would have given it a total of 20% of the Polish sugar market.

Poland Arbitration 2011

One issue under discussion is whether Poland should become a party to the Washington (ISCID) Convention. Because Poland is a party to more than 60 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and has recently been a party to several high-profile investment arbitration proceedings, becoming a party to the ISCID Convention is discussed among practitioners, but faces strong opposition on the government side. Apart from that, another issue is whether Poland should continue to maintain BITs at all with other countries within the EU.
