Motion for a resolution
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, while the Industrial Emissions Directive6 and other legislation could serve as a complementary tool; _________________ 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.

Amendment 142 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5
5. Considers that farm level certification schemes for climate effective farming, including common measurement and verification data for methane reductions, will be an important tool for monitoring and incentivising methane reductions at farm level; ould, if introduced, necessitate significant expenditure by farms, adversely impacting the competitiveness of European agriculture, and therefore calls on the Commission, in he event of their adoption, to provide 100% subsidies to farmers for the purchase of the relevant equipment; subsidies for this purpose should be paid out from a different section of the EU budget than the common agricultural policy, and optimally from climate policy spending;
