FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The European Union’s General Court has partially annulled the European Commission’s decision concerning the Taxonomy criteria for shipping, finding that the Commission had failed to properly address methane-slippage emissions from ships. The ruling means the Commission must revisit the relevant criteria and establish a measurable threshold for methane emissions from vessels. The decision places limits on the Commission’s discretion when setting environmental criteria under the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which defines which economic activities can qualify as environmentally sustainable.
