EC intends to recognize gas and nuclear energy as eco-friendly energy sources

The European Commission (EC) will recognize until the end of 2021 that the atom and natural gas are environmentally friendly sources of energy, Acting Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babiš said at a press conference on the results of the work of the country's government.

"At three o'clock in the morning I returned from the meeting of the European Council. The President of the European Commission promised that by the end of this year the EC will implement an act that will confirm that the atom and gas are [environmentally friendly] energy sources with low emissions," Babiš said.
