LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The Treaty establishing Energy Communty paves way to a set of common institutions and a legal framework within which these institutions operate. It also defines the rights and obligations of the Parties to the Treaty. In the following, the legal framework established by and under the Treaty will be described.

 

Energy Community Legal Framework

For the sake of best possible overview, the Secretariat compiles the prevailing Energy Community legal framework under one cover. The publication consists of three parts. Whilst the Part I replicates the Treaty establishing the Energy Community, the Part II lists the complete Energy Community acquis communautaire in force. The Part III displays a selection of the Energy Community secondary legislation.

The publication has been compiled for reference purposes only and is not authentic. Whilst the first edition was presented at the 5th Ministerial Council in Dec 2008, the second, and most recent one, was published on 1 Nov 2010.

 


CONTENT

The section begins with the reproduction of the Treaty and its four Annexes. The page about the Treaty describes the aims and outlines the core commitments undertaken by the Parties to the Treaty. The page on EU legislation, in return, lists the legal acts to be implemented by the Parties to the Treaty. The section also displays decisions and procedural acts enacted by the Energy Community institutional organs.
