On 17 March 2026, the Commission published for consultation a package of two DAs under the EU Taxonomy Regulation 2020/852, which amend the existing Climate and Environmental DAs, forming part of a broader review of the technical screening criteria (TSC) adopted to date. The aim of these amending DAs is to address identified implementation challenges by claryfing and simplifying technical screening criteria, including the ‘do no significant harm’ (DNSH) criteria and review ’transitional activities’ in the Climate DA. This review also responds to the legal obligation under the Taxonomy Regulation to regularly review and, where appropriate, amend the technical screening criteria. The proposed amending DAs are closely linked to the recent Omnibus I Sustainability simplification package and the Commission Communication ‘A Competitive Compass for the EU’. The proposed DAs are scheduled for adoption in mid-June 2026, with the objective of coming into effect by January 2027. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
