Nuclear energy must be included in a delegated act of the European taxonomy, 18 trade unions in the energy sector from 10 European Union countries have told Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission (EC). In a joint letter, the unions called for a dialogue with the purpose of nuclear energy to play its full potential and build an economically efficient and socially just carbon-free Europe by 2050 .

In January, 13 trade unions representing energy and nuclear workers wrote to von der Leyen saying nuclear energy must be part of the European taxonomy in order to meet the objective of the Green Deal.
