EU Commission refers Hungary to CJEU over intra-EU investor arbitration rules

The European Commission is taking legal action against Hungary for failing to comply with EU rules on intra-EU investor-State arbitration, a move that escalates institutional pressure on Budapest. The referral to the Court of Justice underscores ongoing rule-of-law tensions within the EU, though the specific non-compliance details remain unspecified. This action signals a firm EU stance on legal uniformity, potentially affecting investor confidence and bilateral relations.
