These include major disputes such as the spat with Union Fenosa Gas over the cutting of gas supplies to the Damietta LNG facility back in 2012, which was finally resolved last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To go deeper into how the government is approaching its international disputes<\/strong> and look at the steps that have been taken to level up the local arbitral environment, we spoke to Moustafa El Bahabety, assistant justice minister for arbitration and international disputes and the commissioner of the high council for international arbitration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Settling your disputes pays (USD 20 bn+ to be precise)<\/li>\n<li>Tanta Linen dispute to be settled within a month\u2026<\/li>\n<li>\u2026but Omar Effendi remains in limbo.<\/li>\n<li>The Permanent Court of Arbitration wants to set up shop in the new capital<\/li>\n<li>The investment dispute resolution committee has got new teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The treasury could have been forced to cough up more than USD 20 bn over the past four years without the government\u2019s settlement policy<\/strong>, El Bahabety said.

The Holding Company for Construction and Development last year <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/445294a2-539c-4c84-b718-f0694c390676\">offered to settle<\/a> with Anwal United Trading Company, but El Bahabety says negotiations remain in limbo after the investor said that negotiations cannot go on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pca-cpa.org\/en\/home\/\">Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA)<\/a><\/strong><strong> might be setting up shop here: <\/strong>\u201cWe seek to have international arbitration centers setting up their headquarters here, and we will soon have a branch of the PCA, most likely in the new administrative capital,\u201d El Bahabety told us. This would be the fourth PCA office to be set up outside of its headquarters in The Hague, and could promote Egypt as a venue for regional arbitration cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The authority responsible for handling international arbitration has been <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=14122020&id=d9d26ba4-f0c7-4120-a4c5-0804aac8acdf\">handed new powers<\/a><\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>The Higher Authority for Arbitration and International Disputes \u2014 which includes the PM, central bank governor, 7 ministers and representatives from the military and the intelligence service \u2014 was given oversight last year on all arbitration cases in Egypt, with the power to handpick law firms and appoint arbitrators, El Bahabety told us. It is also now able to review investment contracts to make sure there are no loopholes or terms that could benefit one party over another. \u201cIt does not interfere in the technical and financial clauses, but rather reviews the agreement\u2019s provisions including arbitration clauses, financial balance and force majeure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this necessary?<\/strong> Restructuring the committee aims to limit the number of arbitration cases being filed against the government by preempting potential problems, El Bahabety explains. He draws a link between the move and the reduction in the number of arbitration hearings \u2014 and enhancing both awareness of arbitration and of law at state agencies and state-owned companies, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ultimate goal of the changes: <\/strong>For investors to have confidence that (a) Egypt is taking concrete measures reduce potential for disputes between investors and government entities; (b) that we\u2019re clearing our backlog of disputes; (c) that arbitration in Egypt is easier to pursue thanks to improved practices and a wider range of arbitral tribunals from which to choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state of Egypt\u2019s arbitration environment + case pipeline, as told by Assistant Justice Minister Moustafa El Bahabety.
