Germany considering lawsuit against EU taxonomy<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s vice-chancellor Robert Habeck said on Monday (7 January) that Berlin would examine a contentious proposal by the European Commission to include nuclear power and fossil gas in the EU\u2019s sustainable finance taxonomy before considering a potential lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s proposed green investment label for nuclear and gas has attracted scathing criticism, with Austria and Luxembourg saying they would challenge the proposal before the European Court of Justice.<\/p>\n

Now, Germany is also considering legal action against the proposal. \u201cWe will observe the vote in the European Council, and then we will check whether everything is legally correct and clean,\u201d said Robert Habeck, Germany\u2019s minister for the economy and climate protection, adding that \u201cthis is not an announcement or an exclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe position of the federal government is that it would not have needed the second delegated act,\u201d Habeck told journalists, referring to the legal form of the proposal, a fast-track procedure whereby EU countries delegate legislative powers to the European Commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will see what kind of majority will be formed in the Council,\u201d Habeck said during a visit to Paris where he met with with French economy minister Bruno Le Maire and ecological transition minister Barbara Pompili.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd after that it will be necessary to decide whether the legal examination will lead us to a lawsuit or not,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
