Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Regrets 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, in which further disaggregation of emission factors and their determination on a scientific basis is required for all EU production systems before progress beyond level 2 approaches can be made;

Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that research and investment in mitigation measures and technologies is of paramount importance and can obtain bigger decreases; 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, which is crucial if we are to maintain population levels in rural areas and ensure that those areas offer a vibrant and thriving living environment;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Looks forward to the work of the International Methane Emissions Observatory in the hope that, with a view to achieving a more dynamic system that more accurately assesses the weight of methane emitted by ruminant livestock, which is clearly less than the other gases that cause global warming, it will revise methane's global warming potential (GWP), a measurement system which statically assesses methane emitted over 100 years and whose results overestimate the impact of short-lived gases like methane;
