英文摘要 |
StoryThe European Parliament voted today on a resolution to veto the proposed criteria for fossil gas and nuclear energy proposed by the Commission in February to be included in the EU Taxonomy of sustainable economic activities. With 328 against and 278 in favour of the resolution, MEPs failed to block the proposal. This was the final political opportunity to prevent gas and nuclear from being classified as green. Now the Complementary Delegated Act on the EU Taxonomy of Sustainable Activities is approved and enters into force and is applicable as of January next year. However, the Taxonomy saga will not end here, as several member states have already indicated to challenge the delegated act in court. In light of the ongoing war in Ukraine and EU’s response through RePowerEU to free itself from Russian fossil fuels policymakers have been extremely divided over the role of gas and nuclear power in the climate transition. The vote today and extreme politicisation of this technical issue indicate that, despite the outcome, Europe will stay divided on the topic for years to come.
Jurei Yada, Programme Leader, EU Sustainable Finance, E3G said: “With the ongoing war, high energy prices and increasing cost-of-living crisis, it is disappointing to see how MEPs failed to recognise the urgency to block this. The Delegated Act is at odds with the EU’s response to the war, with RePowerEU and is counterproductive to achieving Europe’s energy independence”.
