Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed regulation on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen, a recast of existing rules. The regulation amends Regulations (EU) No 1227/2011, (EU) 2017/1938, (EU) 2019/942 and (EU) 2022/869 and Decision (EU) 2017/684, and repeals Regulation (EC) No 715/2009. Parliament states the proposal contains no substantive amendments beyond those identified, and is a straightforward codification of unchanged provisions without change in substance. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended.
