EU agreement on restrictive methane regulations? Poland ready for compromise

The EU regulation requires gas and oil importers to ensure foreign suppliers monitor and report methane emissions. Poland fears non-compliant suppliers may redirect resources, limiting fuel availability in Europe. Achieving an agreement is challenging due to divisions among EU countries. Poland and several others advocate for a three-year delay, while the European Commission initially resisted changes but proposed a one-year delay after pressure from France. A compromise may involve a delay longer than one year but shorter than three. Time is limited, as the European Parliament and EU Council must finalize changes by year-end for new deadlines to take effect next year.
