Arbitration itself is not a problem. The selection of the arbiters is. From what I have seen, in Europe generally the panel is composed of two members chosen by the two parties and a third one by common agreement (any previous agreement being null and void) or, in case of disagreement, nominated by the president of the local tribunal.

That's true, if the goal is to settle a specific unique dispute between two parties.
The problem is that arbitration in the US isn't used as strategy to settle such disputes, it's used to keep disputes secret and divide-and-conquer wronged parties to make dispute settlement impractical for them. Basically, it serves to tip the scales further in favor of the largest, savviest players.
