The two committees will scrutinise the complementary Taxonomy Delegated Act put forward by the Commission on 9 March 2022, which proposes to include, under certain conditions, specific nuclear and gas energy activities in the list of economic activities covered by the EU taxonomy.
The new Delegated Act classifies certain fossil gas and nuclear energy activities as transitional activities contributing to climate change mitigation under Article 10(2) of the Taxonomy Regulation. The inclusion of certain gas and nuclear activities is limited in time and dependent upon specific conditions and transparency requirements.
Parliament and Council have until 9 July 2022 to decide if they want to veto the Delegated Act. This period may be extended further by two months.
