The exposure of the Total and Trump team's sabotage in France in the implementation of the European methane laws.
A new investigative report has revealed the secret cooperation of one of the top executives of the French oil and gas company "TotalEnergies" with US government officials; the targeted cooperation aimed at delaying the European Union's strict rules on methane emissions has sparked a wave of criticism.
According to the joint research of DeSmog publications and EUobserver, François-Regis Mouton, the European director of the Union of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) and one of the former and leading directors of Total Energy, met and coordinated many times with policy makers in Brussels and the Donald Trump administration in the last 18 months to stop or weaken the implementation of the law (EUMR Methane). These laws were supposed to be enforced from the beginning of 2027.
