(9) The approach of annually binding national limits taken in Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council19 should be continued from 2021 to 2030, with the start of the trajectory calculation in 2020 on the value of the 2020 annual emission allocation according to Decision 2013/634/EU and subsequent amendments, or on the average of the greenhouse gas emissions during 2016 to 2018, using whichever value is lower, and the end of the trajectory being the 2030 limit for each Member State. In order to ensure the effort sharing is fair and balanced, Member States with an average of greenhouse gas emissions during 2016, 2017 and 2018 below its 2020 annual emission allocation and with a GDP per capita below EU28 average GDP per capita in 2013, can opt for starting on the value of the 2020 annual emission allocation. An adjustment to the allocation in 2021 is provided for Member States with both a positive limit under Decision 406/2009/EC and increasing annual emission allocations between 2017 and 2020 determined pursuant to Decisions 2013/162/EU and 2013/634/EU, to reflect the capacity for increased emissions in those years. The European Council concluded that the availability and use of existing flexibility instruments within the non-ETS sectors should be significantly enhanced in order to ensure cost- effectiveness of the collective Union effort and convergence of emissions per capita by 2030. __________________ 19 Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 136).

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) This Regulation, including the available flexibilities, should provide an incentive for emission reductions consistent with other Union climate and energy legislation for sectors that are covered by this Regulation, including in the area of energy efficiency. This Regulation shall also take into account the objective of contributing to the EU Forest Strategy, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the EU Circular Economy Strategy.

Recital 20
(20) This Regulation should be reviewed as of 2024 and every 5 years thereafter in order to assess its overall functioning. The review should and Member States’ compliance with the requirements. The review should be based on a preparatory report by the European Environment Agency, taking into account the Union’s objective to reduce economy- wide greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared to the 1990 levels and the Paris Agreement goal of achieving net-zero emissions in the second half of this century in a manner that does not threaten food production and according to the European Council Conclusions of October 2014 which drew attention to the lower mitigation potential of the agriculture sector and the importance of examining the best means to optimise this sector’s contribution to greenhouse gas mitigation and sequestration, in particular through LULUCF activities. The Commission and the European Environment Agency should also take into account evolving national circumstances and be informed by the results of the global stocktake of the Paris Agreement.
