Comisia Europeană propune amânarea cu un an a regulilor privind metanul pentru importatorii de energie

The European Commission has proposed a one-year delay in methane emission regulations for energy importers to safeguard energy supply. This measure aims to alleviate pressure on the European industry and national administrations. The delay affects obligations for monitoring and reporting methane emissions for natural gas, oil, and coal importers. Despite the postponement, the EU's climate goals remain unchanged, focusing on flexibility in implementation amid current energy market challenges. The proposal will be sent to the European Parliament and the EU Council for adoption, ensuring continued legislative progress. Methane is the second-largest greenhouse gas source, and reducing its emissions is crucial for combating global warming.
