Shortly after the inception of the arbitration or ISDS case in 2015 Alburnus Maior, Greenpeace Romania and the Independent Centre for the Development of Environmental Resources (ICDER) contacted the ICSID Tribunal via its team of lawyers to request access to information as prospective amici curiae. The Tribunal replied by releasing several documents; including a timeline allowing the NGOs to submit their brief until September 2018. The decision on whether to admit the amici lies with the Tribunal and is likely to occur after the submission of the brief.
