Pas înapoi pentru Pactul Verde: Bruxelles-ul amână normele privind emisiile de metan • Newsweek România

The European Commission is considering delaying new methane emission regulations for fossil fuel imports, marking a significant shift in environmental policy. This decision comes amid rising pressures from key trading partners like the U.S. and Qatar, as well as warnings from oil and gas companies. The Commission may suspend financial penalties and grant a grace period for energy traders to avoid losing suppliers to markets with looser environmental standards. Critics argue that strict enforcement could destabilize gas prices in Europe. This postponement prioritizes market predictability and short-term energy security over immediate climate goals, causing discontent among environmental organizations.
