On Thursday, 23 June, MEPs adopted—with 436 votes in favour, 69 against, and 71 abstentions—an own-initiative report by Anna Cavazzini (Greens/EFA, Germany) on the EU’s investment policy. They are calling for a framework that favours sustainable investments abroad.
“[We] suggest, in the report, [ending] the protection of investments in fossil fuels or any other activities that pose significant harm to the environment and human rights”, Ms Cavazzini declared in the chamber.
