Methane regulation: ITRE and ENVI vote for report

As expected, MEPs in the two lead committees (Environment and Industry) voted in favor of Green Party negotiator Jutta Paulus’ proposal on Methane Regulation. Wednesday’s vote was clearly in favor of the text, with 114 votes in favor, 15 against, and three abstentions. The content goes well beyond the draft legislation presented by the Commission to limit methane emissions in the energy sector, such as imports the Parliament wants to be covered.
