The Spanish Arbitration Club (CEA) held its fifth international conference in Madrid on 20-22 June, entitled “Arbitrators: A Global View”. The event was opened by the Spanish minister of justice, Francisco Caamaño Domínguez, who discussed the draft reform bill to the Spanish Arbitration Act recently submitted to the council of ministers for approval; and CEA co-chair Jesús Remón, who spoke of the importance of arbitration as an authentic “infrastructure for investment” and the essential role of arbitrators in that process. Remón highlighted the certainty offered by Spanish cities as a seat of arbitration and the active role of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking arbitration community in promoting international arbitration.
