Title: European Union law and the Energy Charter Treaty
Abstract: The European Union (as successor to the European Communities) and all of the EU member states are parties to the Energy Charter Treaty. From the EU law perspective, the ECT is a 'mixed agreement'; that is, an agreement parts of which fall within the EU's competence and parts of which fall within the competences of the member states. In particular, at the time of its adoption foreign investment fell within the competences of the member states (although this has now changed, at least as regards foreign direct investment, which the Lisbon Treaty has brought within the Common Commercial Policy).
