I gcomhthéacs ardleibhéil an GWP agus an tsaolré measartha gearr atá ag an meatán, rud is cúis le tionchar suntasach ar an aeráid sa ghearrthéarma agus sa mheántéarma, ba cheart don Choimisiún anailís a dhéanamh ar na himpleachtaí atá ann maidir le beartais agus bearta a chur chun feidhme chun laghdú a dhéanamh ar thionchar gearrthéarmach agus meántéarmach na n-astaíochtaí meatáin ar astaíochtaí GCT san Aontas.
