On 25 June 2025, the European Commission (Commission) updated its webpage on the Platform on Sustainable Finance.

The Commission has added text to the ‘Stakeholder request mechanism’ section. The mechanism was launched in October 2023 and allows stakeholders to submit suggestions based on scientific and/or technical evidence, on new activities that could be included in the EU taxonomy or on possible amendments to the technical screening criteria of existing activities. So far, a total of 646 requests have been received through the stakeholder request mechanism by the first cut-off date – 15 December 2023. The Platform, together with the Commission, is currently assessing these requests.

The new text in the section reads:

“The Commission is conducting a comprehensive review of the existing EU taxonomy technical screening criteria, with the aim of updating them and improving their usability. A delegated act is expected to be adopted in the second quarter of 2026. Therefore, the next cut-off date of the stakeholder request mechanism is 15 September 2025.”
