BRUSSELS: European Union countries disagreed ahead of a summit on Thursday over whether the bloc should label nuclear energy as a climate-friendly investment, as leaders await a decision on the matter from Brussels.

"We are against a greenwashing of nuclear energy ... We have allies, among them Luxembourg, but of course also powerful opponents who are supporters of nuclear energy," Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on his arrival at the summit of EU leaders. "Others have doubts about that and Poland clearly calls for it and I will be saying that strongly today to adopt that in the conclusions," Morawiecki said.

France, which gets about 70 per cent of its electricity from nuclear energy, is among its strongest supporters, and says the fuel's low CO2 emissions make it vital in the transition to green energy. Germany is among the countries opposed and is phasing out its own nuclear reactors.
