摘要

2011年3月日本福島核災發生後，若干國家（特別是德國）改弦易轍，終結使用核能而大幅改變其能源政策。2012年5月，在德國境內擁有兩座核電廠之瑞典能源公司Vattenfall針對德國逐步廢核之決定，向國際投資爭端解決中心提出仲裁聲請。本文擬就德國採取逐步廢止核能使用之背景，以及Vattenfall公司與地主國間之衝突做一介紹。本文亦擬就本案涉及重大公共政策之層面與國際投資法核心議題所引發之爭議進行分析。

After the Fukushima disaster in March 2011, a number of countries, most notably Germany, dramatically changed their energy policies in order to close nuclear power plants. In May 2012, the Swedish energy company Vattenfall, an investor controlling two nuclear power plants in Germany, filed a request for arbitration against Germany at the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) regarding the German nuclear phase-out. This article provides background on the introduction and phasing out of nuclear energy in Germany, as well as the conflict between Vattenfall and the host state. This article also analyzes important public policy aspects of this particular case with respect to core elements of international investment law.
