Paragraph 3
3. Underscores the need to revise EU climate and environmental legislation in a coherent manner; takes the view that the binding emissions reduction targets for Member States in the Effort Sharing Regulation5 should remain the main legislative tool to reduce methane emissions as part of overall greenhouse gas reductions, while the Industrial Emissions Directive6 and other legislation cshould serve as a complementary tool; taking into account the need to avoid unnecessary overlaps between the legislations; calls on the Commission to assess the consistency of the National Emission Reduction Commitments Directive with meeting the EU´s air quality objectives as well as the Union's 2030 climate goals and its objective of climate neutrality in 2050 at the latest, as enshrined in the European Climate Law, and to revise it accordingly as soon as possible; _________________ 5Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013.
