In the final trilogue negotiations on the Just Transition Fund, on Wednesday 9 December, co-legislators agreed to remove funding for natural gas projects from the final text entirely. This is a Greens/EFA success.
The Greens/EFA group is the only group in the EU Parliament that has consistently advocated for this, both in the negotiations within the European Parliament and in the subsequent negotiations with the EU Commission and Council.
