The European Commission publishes pool of individuals eligible for appointment as arbitrators and TSD experts

Dispute Resolution
The European Commission published the pool of individuals eligible for appointment as arbitrators for trade and sustainable development (TSD) experts in bilateral disputes under trade agreements with third countries.

Dan Terkildsen, attorney, and partner at Lundgrens is amongst the appointed individuals eligible as arbitrators for trade and sustainable development (TSD)

Dan has more than 15 years of experience as an arbitrator and engages in all aspects of litigation and arbitration. He is highly experienced in domestic as well as international arbitration and litigation matters.

The pool is the result of a new selection mechanism, addressing demands from stakeholders and the European Parliament for a more transparent, independent, and inclusive process. The eligible candidates come from very diverse backgrounds and include legal practitioners and academics from all over the world and across the EU.

Dispute settlement is an important element in ensuring the correct implementation of the EU’s trade and investment agreements with third countries. The European Commission is responsible for representing the EU in any dispute settlement procedures. 

The candidates that passed the selection process are included in a pool, from which the Commission may choose individuals to be nominated for appointment in specific disputes or proposed to the Council for rosters, courts, or tribunals under specific agreements.
