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 cshould 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.

Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Recognises the importance of voluntary industry initiatives aimed at reducing methane emissions and consid; stresses howevers that any regulatory initiatives should build upon best practices from existing voluntary actions and must be dulyif industry overall fails to improve performance coming at no net cost, the regulatory measures should be introduced without delay, preceded by a thorough impact assessments which duly assesses also the cost of inaction and effectively applies the "do no significant harm" principle;

Paragraph 10
10. Calls on the Commission to support the establishment of an independent international methane emissions observatory, in partnership with the United Nations Environmental Programme, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and the International Energy Agency, tasked with collecting, reconciling, verifying and publishing anthropogenic methane emissions data at a global level; stresses that availability of the detailed emissions data should lead to governments and regulators holding emitters accountable and help reverse the trend of increasing emissions rates;

10a. Notes the improvement in detection and tracing of emissions able to attribute substantial individual methane leaks; highlights that the modified Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite data used for identification of methane emissions from the leaks show that there are around 100 high volume-emitting events around the world which together, in the course of one year, release 20 megatons of methane1a; _________________ 1ahttps://www.kayrros.com/wp- content/uploads/2020/07/2020-03- 31_Kayrros-x-Copernicus.pdf
