Olaf Scholz, Angela Merkel’s finance minister, who oversaw BaFin, told the parliamentary inquiry that he bore no direct responsibility for what had taken place under his watch. Later that year, he became the Chancellor of Germany. Ja ja……

Brussels is drawing up a proposal to use the EU budget to pre-finance purchases of weapons and ammunition, in what would be an unprecedented foray into the defence industry designed to speed up arms supplies to Ukraine.

Als u dacht dat de EU over handel en economie gaat, heeft u het mis. De EU gaat over macht. De EU gaat steeds verder. Dit is de volgende stap: EU plans to finance weapons for Ukraine via its own budget via @FT

Finance Ministers are discussing an EU response to the Inflation Reduction Act today.

Let's not panic and take a decision that could create imbalance within the EU.

We should look at the #IRA as an opportunity to send a clear signal to our own industry.

Orban won the elections, rule of law lost. Strong European support to the citizens and their rights is more needed than ever. I call upon the Commission not to finance autocracy and corruption for another four years but instead strengthen independent media and civil society.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) di 29 mrt 2022, 17:39

The sustainable finance agenda urgently needs rules for transitioning away from environmentally harmful investments. Great report on that👇. I call on @McGuinnessEU to prioritise extending the taxonomy. This also offers alternatives to labelling gas and nuclear as "sustainable".

Paul Tang (PvdA) di 29 mrt 2022, 11:42

It is the transition, stupid!

#SustainableFinance should be about financing investments in the transition towards sustainability.

The new proposal - with an amber category - from the Sustainable Finance Platform is excellent. Let's work towards that! #Taxonomy #Finance #Europe

Green investors are against including gas and nuclear in EU green finance standard. Failure to follow the high standards the market expects, means taxonomy will be dead on arrival.
