Late on New Year's Eve, the EU Commission sent its supplement to the taxonomy to the member states. According to it, investments in natural gas and nuclear energy are to be considered climate-friendly under certain conditions. The draft is causing outrage among environmentalists. The German government also voiced criticism.

Spät am Silvesterabend verschickte die EU-Kommission ihre Ergänzung der Taxonomie an die Mitgliedsstaaten. Demnach sollen Investitionen in Erdgas und Kernenergie unter bestimmten Bedingungen als klimafreundlich gelten. Unter Umweltschützern sorgt der Entwurf für Empörung. Auch die Bundesregierung äußerte sich kritisch.
