Comisia Europeană intenţionează să amâne intrarea în vigoare a normelor comunitare privind reducerea emisiilor de metan, în urma solicitărilor guvernelor

The European Commission plans to delay the implementation of methane emission regulations due to requests from several governments, including France and the U.S. The proposed delay may extend the deadline for compliance from January 2027 by one year. This decision is influenced by rising energy prices and geopolitical uncertainties. Environmental NGOs oppose the weakening of these regulations, arguing that reducing methane emissions is crucial for combating climate change. Methane is the second-largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide.
