Paragraph 1
1. RegretNotes the lack of a comprehensive EU monitoring framework for methane emissions; calls on the Commission, therefore, to improve the measurement, reporting and verification of methane emissions in the agricultural sector and provide greater incentives for farmers to achieve larger emission cuts;
Amendment 66 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that research and investment in mitigation measures and technologies is of paramount importance; considers that there is great potential in adapting diet of and developing feed additives for ruminant and bovine species, which could reduce methane emissions without having negative effects on the livestock sector; highlights the roll of the AKIS agricultural advisory services in advising farmers on access to information and technologies with a view to reducing agricultural methane emissions;

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Considers that farm level certification schemes for climate effective farming, including common measurement and verification data for methane reductions, will be an important tool for monitoring and incentivising methane reductions at farm level; stresses the need for a simple and transparent system for the collection of agricultural methane emissions data using state-of-the-art data collection technologies; stresses the importance of publishing a common set of data that do not mislead European consumers regarding the adverse effects of agricultural methane emissions;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Notes that within the wider circular economy, the uptake of carbonprogressive carbon dioxide emissions removals and increased circularity of carbon should be incentivised; calls on the Commission, in accordance with the EU Climate Law, to explore the development of a regulatory framework for the certification of carbon removals on the basis of robust and transparent carbon accounting that takes into account the differences between the greenhouse gases, and to verify the authenticity of carbon removals and reward farmers with incentives for their mitigation efforts.
