Taxonomy Regulation: Report with recommendations on the inclusion of new economic activities

On 1 April 2025, the Platform on Sustainable Finance published a report with recommendations on the inclusion of new economic activities in the taxonomy and the amendment of technical screening criteria for economic activities already included. A draft of the report was previously publicly consulted (ASCG reported).

The report neither constitutes a legal document nor an official position of the European Commission. However, the platform embodies an expert panel that advises the European Commission. The report will therefore be submitted to the European Commission. The European Commission will then adopt a delegated act that will at least partially implement the recommendations contained in the report and amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486. This delegated act will probably also be subject to public consultation prior to its adoption and publication in the Official Journal of the EU.

In December 2024, the ASCG published an briefing paper (in German only) on the reporting requirements of the Taxonomy Regulation. On 26 March 2025, the ASCG submitted a comment letter on the consultation of a delegated act that is intended to amend the reporting of taxonomy information in particular.
