Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 on the reduction of methane emissions, which entered into force in August 2024, is not without its flaws, as made evident by the Polish Presidency’s mid-June proposal at the European Council to include the Regulation as part of the Omnibus simplification package.
This Regulation could compromise the EU’s energy flexibility because its obligations are difficult to implement and ignore operational realities and its requirements are too complex for importers.
Streamlined rules and clearer laws are needed if the EU is to safeguard its energy resilience.
In the light of the above:
- 1.Will the Commission examine the aspects of Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 that are the most challenging to implement, and by means of which legislative procedures?
- 2.How will the Commission simplify the aforementioned Regulation so that it is easier to implement and use?
