The functions of the PCED will be taken over by the the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The Vatican’s daily Bolletino has published a motu proprio dated two days ago. Sorry, but it is in Italian only! The Vatican News website also carrlies these news.
As I said in my St Stephen's Day post - this is probably not the end of world!

For over thirty years the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, established with the Motu Proprio Ecclesia Dei adflicta, of 2 July 1988, has acquitted with sincere concern and praiseworthy concern the task of collaborating with the Bishops and the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia, in facilitating the full ecclesial communion of priests, seminarians, communities or individuals religious and religious, linked to the Fraternity founded by Mgr. Marcel Lefebvre, who wished to remain united to the Successor of Peter in the Catholic Church, preserving their spiritual and liturgical traditions.1
In this way, it was able to exercise its authority and competence on behalf of the Holy See on these companies and associations, until otherwise provided.2
Subsequently, under the Motu proprio Summorum Pontificum of 7 July 2007, the Pontifical Commission extended the authority of the Holy See over those Institutes and religious communities, which had adhered to the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite and had assumed the previous traditions of life. religious, overseeing the observance and application of the established provisions.3
Two years later, my Venerable Predecessor Benedict XVI, with the Motu Proprio Ecclesiae Unitatem, of 2 July 2009, reorganized the structure of the Pontifical Commission, in order to make it more suitable for the new situation created with the remission of the excommunication of the four Bishops consecrated without a pontifical mandate. Moreover, considering that, after such an act of grace, the matters dealt with by the same Pontifical Commission were primarily doctrinal, he has more organically linked it to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, while retaining its initial aims, but modifying its the structure.4
Now, since the Feria IV of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of November 15, 2017 made the request that the dialogue between the Holy See and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X be conducted directly by the aforementioned Congregation, since the issues treated are of a doctrinal nature, to which request I gave my approval in Audientia to the Prefect on the following 24th and this proposal received the Plenary Session of the same Congregation celebrated from 23 to 26 January 2018, after ample reflection, I have come to the following Decision.
Considering today the conditions that had led the Holy Pontiff John Paul II to the establishment of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei;
noting that the Institutes and the religious communities that usually celebrate in extraordinary form have today found their own stability of number and life;
noting that the aims and issues dealt with by the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei are of a predominantly doctrinal nature;
wishing that these aims are increasingly evident to the conscience of the ecclesial communities,
with the present Apostolic Letter 'Motu proprio data',
deliberated
1. The Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, instituted on 2 July 1988 with the Motu Proprio Ecclesia Dei adflicta, has been pressed.
2. The tasks of the Commission in question are assigned in full to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, within which a special Section will be set up to continue the work of supervision, promotion and protection so far conducted by the suppressed Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Gods.
3. The budget of the Pontifical Commission is part of the ordinary accounting of the aforementioned Congregation.
Moreover, I establish that the present Motu proprio, to be observed in spite of anything contrary, even if worthy of particular mention, is promulgated by publication in the newspaper L'Osservatore Romano outgoing on 19 January 2019, entering into immediate force, and subsequently inserted in the official Commentary of the Holy See, Acta Apostolicae Sedis.
Given in Rome, at St. Peter's, January 17, 2019, VI of Our Pontificate.
