AB  - In April 2012, the Argentinean Government announced the expropriation of 51% of YPF
shares, YPF being a subsidiary of the Spanish company Repsol. The main arguments used to justify that
decision were recovering control over a natural resource and the lack of investment by Repsol in the
Argentinean oilfields. Bilateral norms on investments between Argentina and Spain bind the Argentinean
Government to adequately compensate Repsol. Should this compensation not take place, some legal
mechanisms are in place to protect the Spanish company. In this paper, those mechanisms are analyzed,
as well as different possibilities for a satisfactory resolution of the dispute in this context.
