The European Parliament did not object to the Commission\u2019s Taxonomy Delegated Act<\/a> to include specific nuclear and gas energy activities, under certain conditions, in the list of environmentally sustainable economic activities covered by the so-called EU Taxonomy<\/a>, as reported in this press release<\/a> by the Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Commission believes there is a role for private investment in gas and nuclear activities in the green transition, it has proposed the classification of certain fossil gas and nuclear energy activities as transitional activities contributing to climate change mitigation. The inclusion of certain gas and nuclear activities is time-limited and dependent on specific conditions and transparency requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n

Decarbonizing Europe – The road to a cleaner continent<\/div>
Many policy documents have already spelled out that Europe must become greener and cleaner. Paper is patient, after all. But now, the European Commission has set aside a substantial budget for this task.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

278 MEPs voted in favour of the resolution, 328 against and 33 abstained. An absolute majority of 353 MEPs was needed for Parliament to veto the Commission\u2019s proposal. If neither Parliament, nor Council object to the proposal by 11 July 2022, the Taxonomy Delegated Act will enter into force and apply as of 1 January 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2084,"featured_media":511114,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":""},"categories":[67910],"tags":[41051,84904,128043,128045],"location":[70256],"internal_archives":[],"class_list":["post-385137","selected","type-selected","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-decarbonizing-europe","tag-european-commission","tag-european-parliament","tag-nuclear-energy-3","tag-taxonomy","location-eu"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"featured_img":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cr3JXttE-PdSrz5dR-npBSWqZb-h8eu2E15-decarb-dossier-img4.png","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/author\/mauro-mereu\/","display_name":"Mauro Mereu"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 4 years ago","modified":"Updated 4 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on July 6, 2022","modified":"Updated on July 6, 2022"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on July 6, 2022 3:00 pm","modified":"Updated on July 6, 2022 3:00 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"category":{"linked":["Decarbonizing Europe<\/a>"],"unlinked":["Decarbonizing Europe<\/span>"],"slug":"category","name":"Categories"},"post_tag":{"linked":["European Commission<\/a>","European Parliament<\/a>","nuclear energy<\/a>","taxonomy<\/a>"],"unlinked":["European Commission<\/span>","European Parliament<\/span>","nuclear energy<\/span>","taxonomy<\/span>"],"slug":"post_tag","name":"Tags"},"language":{"linked":["EN<\/a>"],"unlinked":["EN<\/span>"],"slug":"language","name":"Tags"},"post_translations":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"post_translations","name":""},"location":{"linked":["EU<\/a>"],"unlinked":["EU<\/span>"],"slug":"location","name":"Locations"},"internal_archives":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"internal_archives","name":"Internal Archives"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected\/385137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/selected"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/selected"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2084"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385137"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=385137"},{"taxonomy":"internal_archives","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal_archives?post=385137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
