Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be taken in the Ministerial Council set up under the Treaty establishing the Transport Community

Background:

The English version of the TCT with the Western Balkans parties (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) was signed by all parties except Bosnia and Herzegovina in the framework of the Western Balkans Six summit that took place in Trieste on 12 July 2017, while Bosnia and Herzegovina signed the text on 18 September 2017 in Brussels. The other language versions of the TCT were signed by the parties on 9 October 2017.

The draft decision concerns the adoption of the Rules of Procedure of the Ministerial Council in order to ensure the appropriate execution and implementation of its tasks. The draft Rules of Procedure cover subjects such as participation at the meetings of the Ministerial Council, the Presidency of the Ministerial Council, the preparation of meetings of the Ministerial Council and the procedural rules applicable to such meetings, procedures in respect of the various types of action possibly taken by the Ministerial Council, disclosure of information, as well as a number of final provisions.

The decision on the adoption of the Rules of Procedure of the Ministerial Council will be essential for the timely implementation of the TCT.

This proposal concerns the decision establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the Ministerial Council set up under the Treaty establishing the Transport Community (TCT) as regards the envisaged decision on the adoption by the Ministerial Council of its Rules of Procedure.
