EU considers slippage of methane import regulation

"We are encountering difficulties in the implementation" of the methane regulation in the "part relating to imports. This is why, after having listened to the majority of EU countries, I have instructed my services to evaluate the possibility of postponing" the entry into force "of the part relating to imports". This was announced by the EU Energy Commissioner, Dan Jorgensen, upon his arrival at the informal Energy Council in Dublin, underlining that this is "in no way a step backwards compared to our ambitions" and that Parliament and the Council will decide "whether or not to proceed in this direction".
