President Klaus Iohannis praised the European Parliament’s positive results in accepting nuclear energy and gas in the transition to a green economy, the presidency said in a statement.

“We welcome today’s positive results from the European Parliament on Taxonomy. I am glad that Romania’s constant efforts to consider gas and nuclear energy as part of progressive decarbonisation have been reflected in the EP’s final decision,” Iohannis wrote on Wednesday on Twitter.

The European Parliament on Wednesday voted to label energy from gas and nuclear sources as sustainable, within the EU classification for green financing, according to dpa.

The proposal aims to guide private investment towards achieving the European Union’s 2050 target – “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions.
