➡️ EU countries must exit the climate-wrecking #EnergyCharterTreaty .
🥳The good news: European Commission and European Parliament are on board!
‼️ EU energy ministers have to act NOW and #ExitECT

The UK is going against the global grain on #ISDS .

While the US is exploring scrapping it in existing trade deals, the UK lacks even a commitment on future deals - despite acknowledging the risks enough to #ExitECT . We need a consistent & comprehensive approach to a toxic system

I am so happy 🥳
The #EU is also finally getting out of the climate-damaging #EnergyCharterTreaty . With a large majority, the EU Parliament decided this today.
A great success for the energy transition and democracy! #ExitECT #StopISDS

As UK decides to #ExitECT , we should revisit its wider context (a theme in our Journal of International Economic Law symposium). Viñuales and I noted how antipathy towards fossil fuels was only one part of the story, including intra-EU renewables disputes and rupture with Russia. 1/6 academic.oup.com/jiel/article/2…

🎉🎉🎉
The European Parliament says YES to the EU's withdrawal from the ECT
This exit can be officially notified after the final decision by the Council, in the coming weeks.
👏👏👏 #ExitECT

The climate-wrecking Energy Charter Treaty gives unprecedented power to fossil fuel companies and threatens vital government action on climate change. It's a dinosaur treaty and the UK should leave now! #ExitECT #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever

#ECT has been used to sue governments that are trying to pull out of fossil fuels production, eg, German coal giants RWE and Uniper vs. Dutch government where the company claims the compensation of $1.4bil
