This Order declares the Energy Charter Treaty signed and provisionally applied from 17 December 1994 by the Communities, the Member States and many other states to be a Community Treaty as defined in section 1(2) of the European Communities Act 1972. The Energy Charter Treaty establishes a legal framework for long term co-operation in the energy field. This co-operation covers many aspects of energy including competition, transit of materials, transfer of technology and investment promotion measures. The principal effect of declaring this Treaty to be a Community Treaty as so defined is to bring into play in relation to it the provisions of section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972 which provides for the implementation of treaties so specified.
