Golden Ten Data reported on June 24 that the United States, Qatar, and other natural gas exporting countries are urging the European Union to relax some of the proposed methane emission regulations, warning that these rules could threaten the EU's energy security. In a letter to European leaders, these countries called for a "pragmatic approach" to clarify regulatory details and make revisions to ensure that importers can continue to supply the oil and natural gas needed by the EU. Nigeria and Algeria also co-signed the letter. Currently, the EU is under pressure to bring down persistently high energy prices and is planning to increase natural gas imports from the United States amid the context of conflict in the Middle East. Some European governments hope to discuss the impact of methane regulations on energy security at the EU energy ministers' meeting to be held later this week.
