(7) Decision No 529/2013/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council,11 as a first step, set out accounting rules applicable to greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the LULUCF sector and thereby contributed to policy development towards the inclusion of the LULUCF sector in the Union’s emission reduction commitment. This Regulation should build on the existing accounting rules, updating and improving them for the period 2021- 2030. It should lay down the obligations of Member States in implementing those accounting rules and the obligation to ensure that the overall LULUCF sector would not generate net emissions. It should not lay down any accounting or reporting obligations for private parties including farmers and foresters. __________________ 11 Decision No 529/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on accounting rules on greenhouse gas emissions and removals resulting from activities relating to land use, land-use change and forestry and on information concerning actions relating to those activities (OJ L 165, 18.6.2013, p. 80)

Proposal for a regulation
Article 8 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2
Article 8 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 2
The national forestry accounting plan shall contain all the elements listed in Annex IV, section B and include a proposed new forest reference level based on the continuation of current forest management practice and intensity, as documented between 1992000-2009 per forest type and per age class in national forests, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, assuming a constant ratio between solid and energy use of forest biomass. The Commission may grant a derogation from the base period 2000-2009 upon submission of a reasoned request submitted by a Member State justifying that this derogation is absolutely necessary for reasons of data availability, such as the timing of forest inventories.
