The publication is acquainted with the draft document, which notes that under certain conditions should be given the "green" status of "disputed" energy sources, including nuclear energy and natural gas.
According to the newspaper, the decision came after a sprawling group of countries led by France, as well as a number of pro-gas governments, demanded that the taxonomy "not sanction the energy sources that provide most of their electricity production".

It was created as part of the so-called "Green Deal", the implementation of which aims to transform the European Union in a way that reduces the negative impact on the environment. Moving to climate neutrality is also part of the deal. The taxonomy, in particular, aims to support direct investment in projects identified as more environmentally friendly.
