Inclusion of nuclear into the EU Taxonomy
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Despite the decision of the Technical Expert Group (TEG) to exclude nuclear from the new EU taxonomy, and under the pressure of pro-nuclear Member States, the Commission has asked its Joint Research Centre to draft a technical report on the ‘do no significant harm’ aspects of nuclear energy.
The Commission indicated that "this report will be reviewed by experts on radiation protection and waste management under Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty, as well as by experts on environmental impacts from an equivalent Commission environmental group or committee". No further information have been provided regarding the composition of these groups and its decision process.
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
- Detailed information about the referred-to "Commission environmental group or committee".
- If available, the list of "experts on environmental impacts from an equivalent Commission environmental group or committee" and/or of "experts on radiation protection and waste management under Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty".
Yours faithfully,
Paul Schreiber
