European Commission Publishes Draft FAQs on EU Taxonomy Regulation

The European Commission has published a draft notice containing a set of FAQs on the interpretation and implementation of certain legal provisions of the EU Taxonomy Environmental Delegated Act, the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and the EU Taxonomy Disclosures Delegated Act. Topics covered include: (i) the application of general taxonomy requirements and technical screening criteria for specific activities included in the Taxonomy Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts; (ii) the generic 'do no significant harm' criteria; and (iii) the reporting obligations for activities covered by the Climate Delegated Act and the Environmental Delegated Act. The Commission hopes that the document will improve the usability of the framework.

The draft notice has been approved in principle by the Commission and will be formally adopted once versions in all EU languages are ready.
