2. Where the result of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 is negative in relation to its forest reference level, and following any necessary corrections and compulsory adjustments to harvest levels, as provided for in paragraph 4, a Member State shall include in its managed forest land accounts total net removals of no more than the equivalent of 3,5 per cent of the Member State’s emissions in its base year or period as specified in Annex III, multiplied by five.

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 1990-2009 per forest type and per age class in national forests, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year. It shall be based on the sustainable forestry management principles and the national strategies published by Member States in this area up to the time of submission of the forest reference level and on long- term analyses carried out with a view to fulfilling the objective set out in Article 4.1 of the Paris Agreement, namely to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century. The report shall document practices per forest type and age or diameter class in national forests. The report shall set out the projected wood harvest levels, where possible breaking them down between commercial harvesting and non-commercial direct harvesting by households and/or on the basis of national forest inventory data and the related historical data series. On that basis, the report shall specify a forest reference level expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.

Article 8 – paragraph 4
Article 8 – paragraph 4
4. Member States shall demonstrate consistency between the methods and data used to establish the forest reference level in the national forestry accounting plan and those used in the reporting for managed forest land. At the latest at24 months after the end of the period from 2021 to 2025 or from 2026 to 2030, a Member State shall submit to the Commission a technical correction of its reference level if necessary to ensure consistencyand the national forestry accounting report if necessary to ensure consistency. In particular, where the result of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 is negative and where the commercial harvest levels recorded over the period are lower than the projected levels set out in the accounting report, the harvest level in the report shall be adjusted and a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the projected reference level. This compulsory adjustment shall consist in bringing the projected harvest levels in the report down to a level where, following final corrections, either the result of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 or the disparity between the projected harvest levels, as corrected, and the harvest levels recorded is remedied. This compulsory adjustment may also be made on the basis of total harvest levels, where those levels have been established with an equivalent or greater degree of accuracy than that achieved for commercial harvest levels.

5. The Commission shall reviewAt specified in Annex 4, the Commission shall carry out a technical assessment of the national forestry accounting plans and technical corrections andsubmitted by Member States and of any technical corrections or adjustments, with a view to assessing the extent to which the proposed new or corrected forest reference levels have been determined in accordance with the principles and requirements set out in paragraphs (3) and (4) as well as Article 5(1). To the extent that this is required in order to ensure compliance with the principles and requirements set out in paragraphs (3) and (4) as well as Article 5(1), the Commission may recalculate the proposed new or corrected forest reference levelhe Commission shall draw up reports summarising the findings and making recommendations.

The Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 14 to amend Annex II in the light of the reviewtechnical assessment carried out pursuant to paragraph (5) to update Member States’ forest reference levels on the basedis onf the national forestry accounting plans or the technical corrections they have submitted, and any rtecalculations made in the context of the review. Until the entry into force of the delegated act, Member Statehnical corrections and/or adjustments made by them. If a Member State has not updated its forest reference levels as, the value specified in Annex II shall continue to apply for the period 2021- 2025 and/or 2026-2030.
