Oh dear oh dear

The real problem is that the benchmark for sustainability, the taxonomy is the one of most lobbied pieces of legislation

Most of your tweets are correct but that without this delegated act there would be no taxonomy is really nonsense. The taxonomy is well functioning as we speak. Indeed, wishes to extend with nuclear and gas are there, but Commission would have accepted our veto.

Esther de Lange (CDA) wo 6 jul 2022, 13:44

In addition to renewable energy, investments in nuclear energy and (non-Russian) gas as a stepping stone to hydrogen will be needed in the coming years - It's encouraging to see that a majority of the EP sees this and rejects the opposition to the proposed #Taxonomy

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) wo 6 jul 2022, 13:04

Really dissapointed with the Parliament's vote on taxonomy today.

Greenwashing nuclear power and gas is not the right way forward. Let's hope financial insititutions have more common sense.

Turning to more fossils now is madness according to @antonioguterres. There is even more madness in the European Commission: @vonderleyen even wants to call it a green investment... #taxonomy bbc.com/news/science-e…

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

The @EPPGroup is in favour of defining clearly what qualifies as sustainable investments. But the future of clean energy is a common good that concerns all Europeans, so Parliament and the Member States must be involved at the same level. #Taxonomy

In Summary: First the Commission will agree to be more vocal on setting global standards; next it will set a global standard that investments in fossils are green. PS In the video only renewables are shown; they are already part of the taxonomy; tomorrow they will be undermined

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) ma 24 jan 2022, 14:34
