What Council Decision (Euratom) 2024/3030 of 2 December 2024 approving the position to be taken on behalf of Euratom in the Energy Charter Conference requires

Council Decision (Euratom) 2024/3030, adopted on 2 December 2024 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 9 December 2024, approves the position to be taken on behalf of Euratom in the Energy Charter Conference regarding the designation of a new depositary for the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and its Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects (PEEREA). The decision arises from the withdrawal of the Portuguese Republic from the ECT and PEEREA, effective 2 February 2025, which necessitates the designation of a new depositary to replace the Government of the Portuguese Republic. The Decision applies to Euratom and to the Member States that are Contracting Parties to the ECT. In accordance with Article 36(7) of the ECT, Euratom shall not exercise its right to vote at the Energy Charter Conference. Instead, Member States that are Contracting Parties, acting jointly, shall exercise their vote at the Energy Charter Conference on 3 December 2024 so as not to prevent the adoption of proposed amendments to Article 49 ECT and Article 21 PEEREA, designating the Energy Charter Secretariat as the new depositary. The Secretariat is required to take all necessary measures to ensure the transition of depositary functions from the Government of the Portuguese Republic and assume these functions on an interim basis as of 2 February 2025, pending the entry into force of the formal amendments.
