EU postpones methane rules for oil imports
The European Parliament has approved a three-year delay in the implementation of methane emission standards related to imported oil and gas, instead of one year, due to pressure from France, the United States, and other countries such as the Czech Republic and Italy. The rules were originally scheduled to take effect in January 2027 and would require foreign oil and gas providers to monitor and report methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas that significantly contributes to climate change. Following the vote, lawmakers must negotiate with member states to reach a final decision on the timeline for the rules' enforcement, amid discussions about extending the period and broad considerations involving emission monitoring and verification.
