On January 1, 2024, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities classification system to prevent greenwashing and inform investors about sustainable investment decisions.
On July 8, 2024, the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) intervened on behalf of Dassault Aviation by filing a claim at the Court of Justice of the European Union. The EBAA claimed that the classification system failed to consider Business Aviation and jeopardizes the competitiveness of the European business aircraft manufacturing industry. Second, the EBAA claimed that financial institutions will be discouraged from financing the manufacturing and purchase of efficient and sustainable aircraft.
