Resumen: Las inversiones extranjeras han aumentado de forma constante en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, la crisis financiera y el protagonismo de algunas economías emergentes, esencialmente China, están afectando a su vitalidad. No puede hablarse todavía un cambio de tendencia, pero sí se constata una actitud de creciente prevención, cuando no de rechazo, hacia ellas. La introducción de mecanismos de control de las inversiones extranjeras refleja este cambio de actitud. La situación alcanza una particular relevancia en el seno de la UE debido, entre otros extremos al estado embrionario de la política de inversiones común La Propuesta de Reglamento de 2017 estableciendo un marco para la evaluación de las inversiones extranjeras directas en UE cumple la doble función de poner de manifiesto la relevancia del tema y de aportar un primer texto para el debate.Palabras clave: Inversiones extranjeras directas, control de inversiones extranjeras, seguridad nacional, política común europea de inversiones, mecanismos de control de inversiones extranjeras.Abstract: Foreign investment flows have increased steadily in the last decades, although the financial crisis and the role played by certain emerging economies, mainly PRC, are negatively influencing them. A change of trend is not ascertainable yet, but some backlash against foreign direct investment exists in particular countries. The development of mechanisms of control of foreign investment shows this change of attitude. The situation is especially relevant in the European Union because of the embryonic condition of the Common Investment Policy. The publication of the Proposal for a Regulation establishing a framework for screening of foreign direct investments into the European Union reflects the relevance of the topic at the same time that offers a first text for debate.Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Control of Foreign Direct Investment, National Security, Common Commercial and Investment Policy, Screening systems of evaluation of foreign direct investment.

The paper deals with the evolution during a period of over 60 years of the investment policy of the European Union, pointing out the main moments that marked the steps taken towards the progressive shaping of an increasingly unitary character of this policy. The increase of the interest of foreign investors for strategic, sensitive sectors of the economy of the member countries determined, after 2017, a change in the philosophy of establishing and applying the Union's investment policy, materialized in the more precise definition of "foreign investor" and in implementing a more rigorous mechanism of control of foreign direct investment. Further on are presented the main effects of foreign investment in the Community economy, resulting from empirical studies on this topic, the conclusions reached by these studies being sometimes divergent.

Abstract An increasing number of States has adopted new or revised existing laws that establish foreign direct investment (FDI) screening mechanisms on grounds of national security. Comparing FDI screening in Germany and China as a case study, this article identifies three regulatory hurdles to investors related to such mechanisms, namely unpredictability, procedural uncertainty, and the lack of transparency in practice. Adopting the theory of induced reciprocity, this article argues that these regulatory hurdles could be reduced if symmetry constraint on national FDI screening schemes can be established between sovereign States in an international agreement. To achieve induced reciprocity between the European Union and China regarding FDI screening on grounds of national security, the EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment could incorporate certain fundamental principles and regulatory objectives of EU Regulation 2019/452 Establishing a Framework for the Screening of Foreign Direct Investments into the Union as a starting point and a way forward.

ON 16 May 2017, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered its Opinion 2/15 concerning the competence of the EU to conclude the Free Trade Agreement with Singapore (EUSFTA) (ECLI:EU:C:2017:376). The Opinion was requested by the Commission which argued, with the support of the European Parliament (EP), that the EU had exclusive competence to conclude the EUSFTA. The Council and 25 of the Member States countered that the EUSFTA should be concluded as a mixed agreement – that is, by the EU and each of its members – because some of its provisions fell under the shared competence of the organisation or the competence of the Member States alone.
