The ongoing pressure from the US and Qatar has intensified as both nations demand that the European Union reconsider its recently proposed climate rules, which they argue could impede liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports to Europe. In response, the EU Parliament has faced significant pushback, rejecting efforts to simplify sustainability requirements and expressing concerns over potential impacts on trade relationships. Lawmakers have recently stalled key agreements related to sustainability and due diligence laws, complicating the legislative landscape amidst accusations that Europe is failing to adequately address corporate sustainability issues. The US government, alongside Qatar, has warned that stringent EU climate regulations could jeopardize LNG supplies, raising alarm bells over the potential ramifications for transatlantic trade agreements. This complex interplay of energy and environmental regulations highlights the challenges the EU faces in balancing climate ambitions with economic pressures.
