EU Parliament fast-tracks delay of methane rules; Tsiodras rapporteur

The European Parliament approved urgent procedure to postpone EU methane regulations, with Dimitris Tsiodras as EPP rapporteur. This signals a regulatory slowdown for energy-sector methane compliance, potentially easing near-term cost pressures on European gas producers and importers. The move reflects industry and political pushback against stricter climate rules amid high energy prices.
