There is an intense ongoing discussion at European and international level about whether
nuclear energy can be classified as an ecologically sustainable economic activity. The
reasons for this are the European Commission’s current review process in the scope of
the development of technical criteria for the Taxonomy Regulation and the corresponding
review report of the Joint Research Centre.
The Federal Office for the Safety of Nuclear Waste Management and the law firm Redeker
Sellner Dahs have conducted a technical and legal review of the classification of nuclear
energy use according to the Taxonomy Regulation on behalf of the German Federal
Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and of the
Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility,
Innovation and Technology.
In its expert response, BASE concludes that the JRC report only incompletely addresses
the risks and negative consequences of nuclear energy use. In particular, the undue
burdens on future generations are not sufficiently taken into account.
In its legal opinion, the law firm Redeker Sellner Dahs examines whether nuclear power is
covered by the scope of the ‛Taxonomy Regulation‛, explains the Regulation's increased
level of protection in view of the precautionary principle, and classifies the findings of the
JRC report in this respect from a legal perspective.
The authors invite you to a event on legal and technical aspects
on Tuesday, 9 November 2021

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
