It also empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts specifying minimum standards covering underlying asset selection and exclusion criteria, weighting methodology, and the decarbonisation trajectory for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks, and states that administrators providing these benchmarks are to comply with the Regulation by 30 April 2020.
