Comisia Europeană propune amânarea, cu un an, a normelor privind emisiile de metan pentru a atenua presiunea asupra industriei europene şi a administraţiilor naţionale

The European Commission has proposed a one-year delay in implementing specific provisions of the EU methane regulation for importers, aiming to ease pressure on the European industry and national administrations. This modification pertains to monitoring, reporting, and verification obligations for natural gas, oil, and coal importers, as well as methane intensity reporting requirements. The delay is intended to protect European citizens from energy price volatility and ensure energy supply security amid current global constraints. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the European Parliament and Council for adoption, maintaining the EU's commitment to reducing methane emissions while allowing importers more time to comply with the regulations.
