Taxonomy: Austria, we will appeal to the EU Court of Justice

Minister, "opposed to greenwashing with gas and nuclear"

13 July, 14:47
(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).
