This report assesses how far the Czech authorities have implemented Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector (EU-MER) on the basis of publicly available information and information obtained directly from Czech authorities and companies.

It finds a substantial gap between Czechia’s obligations and the almost complete lack of action in practice. By late October 2026, the competent authorities had been notified to the European Commission but not empowered by law, no rules on penalties had been adopted, and the government’s legislative plans did not provide for remedying these deficiencies before the end of 2029. Most other obligations depend on functional competent authorities and remain unfulfilled.

The ongoing revision of the EU-MER does not change this assessment: even the European Parliament’s more far-reaching amendments would not affect the Member State obligations whose deadlines have already passed.
