560 billion euros from the EU's corona aid package are to be provided only with vague criteria for a green transition according to the Commission's plans. Experts are calling for more stringent criteria, and the EU Parliament is demanding a greater say than previously proposed.

Nils Meyer-Ohlendorf comments on the EU corona aid package in Tagesspiegel Background. He also calls for the EU Parliament to have more say in the matter and criticises that the aid package is not directly aimed at making the EU climate-neutral by 2050.
