The foundation and rationale: why the EU requires MRV (monitoring, reporting, verification) for gas and crude imports as of 2027

· Core elements of the draft verification protocol (competence, impartiality, scope, assurance levels, site visits, risk assessment, evidence gathering)

· Integration with the companion provisional reporting protocol, including how bottom-up and top-down reconciliation work

· Challenges and open issues (e.g., defining “reasonable assurance,” handling uncertainty, consistency across verifiers, and regional variations)

· What are the practical obstacles for operators in diverse geographies (e.g. remote, offshore, high-H₂S) to comply with verification requirements?

· How can “reasonable assurance” be defined consistently across verifiers without being overly burdensome or too lenient?

· What incentives or regulatory mechanisms might encourage adoption (or alignment) of the protocol beyond EU importers?

· How should feedback from this global consultation phase shape final protocol decisions — e.g. flexibility vs consistency, regional adjustments, independent oversight?
