  • To Dr. Manmohan Singh the Hon'ble Prime Minister Government of India
    To Dr. Manmohan Singh The Hon’ble Prime Minister Government of India South Block, Raisina Hill, New Delhi India-110011 26 September, 2013 REF: We call upon the Government to review and rescind its decision to sign BIT / BIPA with the USA Dear Dr. Singh, On the occasion of your visit to United States, we are writing to you to convey our serious concerns over government of India’s policy on investor protection provisions in Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) also known as Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements (BIPAs) and Comprehensive Economic Partnership/Cooperation Agreements (CEPA/CECAs). As you know, the Government of India has received around eight notices from foreign investors threatening to invoke investor state arbitrations under various investment agreements India signed since 1995. In a response to questions in the parliament, Shri Namo Narain Meena, the Minister of State, Ministry of Finance stated that India has initiated a review of its bilateral investment agreements and also declared a moratorium on new negotiations of BIT1. However, we are surprised to see newspaper reports that India’s Commerce Minister Shri Anand Sharma has agreed to negotiate a bilateral investment agreement with the United States during his recent visit to US.2 According to a briefing note by US India Business Council (USIBC), a key lobbying and advocacy group, such a treaty aim to provide most favored nation (MFN) treatment and fair and equitable treatment, not under Indian laws but under International law standards, to US investors.3 Further, the treaty may include clauses including provisions such as no expropriation without due process and full compensation.
