ESPO Reaction to the draft Delegated Act on EU taxonomy
18 December 2020
The
European Sea Ports Organisation’s (ESPO)
feedback to the draft Delegated Act establishing the technical screening
criteria for the EU taxonomy in the area of climate mitigation and climate
adaptation supports the initial aim of the EU taxonomy framework to
encourage investors to prioritise green and sustainable investments by
providing them a clear manual with common definitions.
The
classification of sustainable projects and investments will be used not only to
guide private investors, but is increasingly referenced as a basis for EU
funding instruments and programmes, therefore European
ports would like to highlight four outstanding concerns with the draft
Delegated Act.
