The EP called in its Resolution 2020/2732(RSP) for binding 30% climate and 10% biodiversity-related targets. The EP should, by consistency, ask for >37% climate spending (compliant with the EC´s assessment Fiche n° 84 on climate mainstreaming of 27/08/2020) to reach the 30% climate target decided by the EUCO for the MFF&NGEU and 10% biodiversity spending in the RRF. This approach foresees double counting: reaching biodiversity target can be facilitated by climate-related expenditure.
