Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
(14) In light of the proximity of some methane emission sources to urban or residential areas, natural or legal persons harmed by breaches of this Regulati and the impacts of the methane emissions on the climate and air quality, natural or legal persons should be able to lodge duly substantiated complaints of possible breaches of this Regulation with the competent authorities. Complainants should be kept informed of the procedure and decisions taken and should receive a final decision within a reasonable time of lodging the complaint.

Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27
(27) The OGMP 2.0 framework has five levels of reporting. Source-level reporting begins at level 3, which is considered comparable with UNFCCC tier 3. It allows generic emission factors to be used. OGMP 2.0 level 4 reporting requires direct measurements of source-level methane emissions. It allows the use of specific emission factors. OGMP 2.0 level 5 reporting requires the addition of complementary site-level measurements. In addition, the OGMP 2.0 framework requires companies to report direct measurements of methane emissions within three years of joining OGMP 2.0 for operated assets and within five years for non-operated assets. Building on the approach and timeline taken in OGMP 2.0 with regard to source-level reporting and taking into account that a large number of Union companies had already signed up to OGMP 2.0 in 2021, Union operators should be required to deliver direct source-level measurements of their emissions within 124 months for operated assets and within 36 months for non-operating assets. In addition to source level quantification, site- level quantification allows assessment, verification and reconciliation of source- level estimates aggregated by site, thereby providing improved confidence in reported emissions. As in OGMP 2.0, this Regulation requires site-level measurements to reconcile source-level measurements.

Amendment 129 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 51
(51) The Union is dependent on imports for 70% of its hard coal consumption, 97% of its oil consumption, and 90% of its fossil gas consumption, therefore most methane emissions associated with EU´s consumption of fossil fuels occur outside the EU. There is no precise knowledge on the magnitude, origin or nature of methane emissions linked to fossil energy consumed in the Union but occurring in third countries. The Methane Regulation therefore provides for set up of robust independent methodology to assess the compliance or regulatory equivalence of imports with EU requirements in the future.

Amendment 147 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 61
(61) In combination, the measures referred to in Recitals 58 to 60 should enhance transparency for buyers, enabling them to make informed sourcing decisions and improve the possibility of wider uptake of methane mitigation solutions across the globe. In addition, they should further incentivise international companies to sign up to international methane measurement and reporting standards such as OGMP or to adopt effective measurement, reporting and mitigation measures. These measures are designed as the basis for a stepwise approach to increase the level of stringency of the measures applicable to imports. The Commission should thus be empowered to amend or add to the reporting requirements of importers. Furthermore, the Commission should evaluate the implementation of those measures and, if it deems appropriate, submit proposals for reviewby 36 months submit proposals of implementing acts to impose more stringent measures on importers and to ensure a comparable level of effectiveness of measures applicable in third countries to monitor, report, verify and mitigate methane emissions. The evaluation should take into account the work undertaken by the IMEO, including the Methane Supply Index, the transparency database and the global methane emitter monitoring tool. Should the Commission find it appropriate to increase the level of stringency of the measures applicable to imports, it is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work including consulting relevant third countries.
