Belgium, (Brussels Morning) After a first blow against the European Commission’s proposal to include nuclear and gas as part of its sustainable financing, the European Parliament voted today to include them under the EU taxonomy. The so-called taxonomy regulation is part of the Commission’s action plan on financing sustainable growth and boosting green investments.
An absolute majority of 353 MEPs was needed for the Parliament to veto the Commission’s proposal, but that figure wasn’t reached with 278 MEPs voting in favor of the resolution, 328 against, and 33 abstaining.
