« From the federal government's perspective, nuclear power is not sustainable. That is why we refuse to include it in the delegated act under the taxonomy regulation. »
« Serious accidents involving large-scale, transboundary and long-term damage to humans-being and the environment cannot be excluded. »

« It is questionable whether the inclusion of nuclear power is compatible with the requirements of the taxonomy regulation »
