Mairead McGuinness has defended EU plans to designate gas and nuclear power as ‘transition’ fuels.

Environmental groups are pushing for the European Parliament to reject any relabelling which they fear will lead to the climate being sacrificed.
The vote will take place tomorrow (Wednesday).
Speaking during the debate this afternoon in Strasbourg, European Commissioner for financial affairs, Mairead McGuinness, stood by the plans, saying the transition will help countries shift to cleaner energy.
