Taxonomy: Committees vote against nuclea • Table.Briefings

Nuclear energy and natural gas projects as „sustainable“ economic activities: The EU Parliament’s Environment and Economics Committees want to prevent this. In three weeks, the plenum in Strasbourg will decide whether the veto will succeed and the Commission will have to row back.

MEPs of the Environment and Economic Affairs Committees in the European Parliament yesterday voted against the Delegated Act under which the European Commission wants to include nuclear power and natural gas in the EU taxonomy. During a joint meeting of the two committees, 76 MEPs voted across political groups in favor of the rejection, four abstained and 62 voted against it. In early July, the plenary will vote on the resolution – and make the final decision on whether the legislation will be passed.
