The European Commission gave its full support to the results of the discussions between Canada on the one side and the Czech and Slovak Republics, Poland, Hungary, Latvia and Romania on the other side, aimed at ensuring full compatibility between bilateral Foreign Investment Protection Agreements (FIPAs) and the entire body of EU laws and regulations, 29 September 2004. A number of provisions in the FIPAs were contrary to the existing EU legislation, and needed therefore to be amended. The Commission now recommends that the bilateral agreements are modified accordingly.
