(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JUL 13 - "Taxonomy is a key tool of the
green deal. Why? Because it ensures that funding for green
transition goes into the green projects. That's why Austria has
opposed the greenwashing of gas and nuclear in the taxonomy from
the beginning. The EU Parliament has also made the decision, but
Austria has made an appeal. We will submit it to the European
court of justice to prevent this greenwashing program's
implementation". Austria's Minister for Environment, Energy, and
Climate Action, Leonore Gewessler, underlined this stance on the
sidelines of the informal Environment Council in Prague.
"We have two months" to take action. "Luxembourg has already
announced that it will support an appeal, and several member
states are critical," Gewessler added. (ANSA).
