EU and Euratom to Withdraw From the Energy Charter Treaty: The End of an Era?

The EU and Euratom will withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty with Member States to support modernisation in the future.

The European Council has adopted four decisions, confirming that the EU and Euratom will leave the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), while permitting any EU Member States still remaining as Contracting Parties to vote in favour of modernisation at the next Energy Charter Conference.
