While welcoming the move toward mandatory sensitivity analyses and the recognition of permitting bottlenecks, CATF warns that shifting the 'central scenario' for infrastructure planning to an implementing act could 're-nationalised key elements' and increase Member State control. The document emphasizes a critical lack of transparency in modelling and warns that making digital permitting portals and tacit approval mechanisms optional could create a 'patchwork of policies' that slows cross-border deployment.
