EU Taxonomy: FIEC reacts to “TWG Supplementary Report”
On 19 December, FIEC reacted to the additional recommendations for technical screening criteria for the economic activities “Demolition of buildings and other structures” and the “Use of concrete in civil engineering works” that were part of the “Technical Working Group (TWG) Supplementary Report” of the Platform on Sustainable Finance (PSF).This report supplements the recommendations of the Platform from March 2022 on technical screening criteria for the four remaining “environmental objectives” of the EU taxonomy. These criteria are likely to be included in the upcoming “Environmental Delegated Act”, expected to be published in early 2023. The Commission is not legally bound by the recommendations of the Platform.
In its reaction, FIEC calls for lower and more realistic limits, e.g., for the share of recycled contents in concrete.
