“The aim is to ensure uniform sanctions without compromising energy security,” European Commission spokesperson Anna Kaisa Itkonen stated during the daily press briefing, responding to a question about the implementation of the methane regulation. She noted that the issue had already been addressed in December at the Energy Council, clarifying that there are no plans to reopen the proposal. Rather, the Commission’s goal is to define a clearer and more predictable framework, based on compliance tools, sanctions, and implementation guidelines.
