The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how he monitors EU implementation of Trade and Co-operation Agreement provisions on energy market access.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government monitors EU implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, including provisions within the Energy Title, through the Agreement's established governance structures, in this case the Specialised Committee on Energy, the Trade Partnership Committee and the Specialised Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade as applicable.

The Partnership Council, which oversees the attainment of the objectives of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, provides strategic direction to this governance framework.
