EU energy chief Jorgensen says EU plans to ease enforcement of its methane-import rules to avoid jeopardising gas supply, Bloomberg reports

By providing flexibility and proportional fines, this could mitigate pressure on gas supply, which is crucial for the region's energy landscape. Traders should watch for implications on gas prices and overall market sentiment in the energy sector, as this may ease some concerns about supply shortages.
