08/02/2022 (Agence Europe) – If the delegated act to include fossil gas and nuclear in the EU taxonomy is not rejected, Germany will conduct a legal review of the text and then decide whether or not to refer the matter to the EU Court of Justice (CJEU), German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck said on Monday 7 February after a lunch in Paris with French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire. In contrast to the latter, the German government coalition is strongly opposed to the inclusion of nuclear power in the taxonomy. On the other hand, it is divided on the inclusion of gas, between the Greens, who are opposed to it, and the SPD and FDP. While the EU co-legislators each have four months (six if they request an extension) to potentially oppose the delegated act (see EUROPE B12882A1), Austria and Luxembourg have already announced their intention to refer the matter to the CJEU, if it is not rejected.
