German government must sue EU over subsidies for new Hungarian nuclear plant - Greenpeace Energy
Greenpeace Energy
Greenpeace energy has called on the German government to follow Austria’s lead and take the EU to court over its approval of billions of euros in subsidies for the planned Hungarian nuclear reactor Paks II. Greenpeace says the Russian-designed nuclear power station poses immense environmental risks, is not sufficiently insured, and will jam international trade of renewable power. The EU commission approved the subsidies last year, but Austria said this week it would sue against the decision. Austria is already involved in a similar case over British nuclear plant Hinkley Point C, according to Greenpeace.
