We have measured the thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ from 2 to 200 K in the superconducting ceramic $\mathrm{Eu}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}x}$ observing an anomaly at the superconducting transition temperature ${T}_{c}$. Using general arguments and approximations, and supposing that the electrical resistivity is due to electron-phonon interaction, we separate quantitatively the different contributions to $\ensuremath{\kappa}$. The "observed" electron-limited phonon conductivity fairly follows the Bardeen-Rickayzen-Tewordt theory and a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer-like energy gap with $\frac{2\ensuremath{\Delta}(0)}{{k}_{B}{T}_{c}}=3.3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.7$, in agreement with published data from other kinds of measurements.
