(4) In Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council30 , the Union has enshrined the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050 in legislation. That Regulation also establishes a binding Union commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) by at least 55 % below 1990 levels by 2030. All sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to achieving that target, including the land use, land use change and forestry sectorwith the highest priority being the reduction of fossil emissions. As regards the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, it can contribute to climate change mitigation in several ways, in particular by reducing emissions, maintaining and enhancing sinks and carbon stocks, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy from biomass and by harnessing the removal potential of organic materials from sustainable forestry management and their potential as a substitute for fossil fuels, taking into account the entire life cycle of those materials, from production to the processing and manufacturing stages. The bioeconomy, bioenergy, sustained investment in research and innovation are indispensable on the path towards a fossil-free and green economy. The contribution of net removals to the 2030 Union climate target is limited to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. In the context of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119, the Commission reaffirmed in a corresponding statement its intention to propose a revision of Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council31 , in line with the ambition to increase net carbon removals to levels above 300 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in the land use, land use change and forestry sector by 2030. __________________ 30Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’) (OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1).’. 31 Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 1).

(5) In order to contribute to the increased ambition to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions from at least 40 % to at least 55 % below 1990 levels, binding annual targets for net greenhouse gas removals should be set out for each Member State in the land use, land use change and forestry sector in the period from 2026 to 2030 (in analogy to the annual emission allocations set out in Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 ), resulting in a target of 310 millions of tonnes CO2 equivalent of net removals for the Union as a whole in 2030equivalent to a 15 % increase in average greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 of net removals for the Union as a whole in 2030 and should take into account the most recent developments. The target for 2030 should promote and strengthen sustainable forest management which allows for the adaptation of forests to climate change in the long term, promotion of high substitution effects through the bioeconomy, an increase in sinks and the creation of carbon storage products including all relevant bio-based product categories that have a carbon sequestration effect. The methodology used to establish the national targets for 2030 should take into account the average greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the years 20168, 20179 and 201820, reported by each Member State, and reflect the current mitigation performance of the land use, land use change and forestry sector, and each Member State’s share of the managed land area in the Union, taking into account the capacity of that Member State to improve its performance in the sector via land management practices or changes in land use that benefit the climate and biodiversity. __________________ 32Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26).

(5a) Deforestation and forest degradation contribute to the global climate crisis as they increase greenhouse gas emissions through associated forest fires, permanently removing carbon sink capacities, decreasing climate change resilience of the affected area and substantially reducing its biodiversity. Halting and reversing deforestation as reaffirmed at the COP26 in Glasgow by the EU leaders is therefore vital in fighting against climate change. The Commission proposal that bans import and export of commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation (COM(2021)0366) will therefore be an important incentive to further strengthen European forest owners in sustainable forest management and the fight against deforestation.

(7a) The Commission should review the current system of reporting CO2 and non- CO2 greenhouse gas emissions within one reporting scheme before any new legislative proposal in that area is submitted. That review should reflect the difference between short lifecycle gases, such as methane, and long life cycle gases, such as carbon dioxide that remain in the atmosphere for more than 1000 years. The cyclical nature of biogenic methane emissions also needs to be considered within the reporting framework and how biogenic methane emissions differ from mined fossil methane.

(8) The land sector has the potential to become rapidlytransition towards climate- neutrality by 2035 in a cost-effective manner, and subsequently generate more greenhouse gas removals than emissions. A collective commitment aiming to achieve climate- neutrality in the land sector in 2035 at EU level can provide the needed planning certainty to drive land- based mitigation action in the short term, considering that it can take many years for such action to deliver the desired mitigation outcomes. Moreover, the land sector is projected to become the largest sector in the EU greenhouse gas flux profile in 2050. It is therefore particularly important to anchor that sector to a trajectory that can effectively deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. By mid-2024, the Member States should submit their updated integrated national energy and climate plans in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council34 . The plans should include relevant measures by which each Member State best contributes to the collective target of climate neutrality in the land sector at EU level in 2035. On the basis of these plans, the Commission should propose national targets, ensurassess the aim of climate neutrality in the land sector in 2035 in light of the Union bioeconomy, substitution of fossil fuels, social aspects and the objectives laid down in Article 194 and Article 39 TFEU. If deemed feasible, the Commission should, by the end of 2025, submit a new legislative proposal with national targets aiming towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2035, meaning that the Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the land use, land use change and forestry sector and the emissions from the agriculture non-CO2 sectors arshould be at least balanced by 2035. Contributions to achieve that aim should be fairly distributed among sectors and Member States. Contrary to the EU level target of climate neutrality for the land sector by 2035, such national targets will be binding and enforceable on each Member State. __________________ 34Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p.1).

(8) The land sector has the potential to become rapidly climate-move towards carbon neutrality by 2035 in a cost-effective manner,through carbon removals and subsequently generate more greenhouse gas removals than emissions. A collective commitment aiming to achieve climate- neutrality in the land sector in 2035 at EU level can provide the needed planning certainty to drive land- based mitigation action in the short term, considering that it can take many years for such action to deliver the desired mitigation outcomes. Moreover, the land sector is projected to become the largest sector in the EU greenhouse gas flux profile in 2050.

On the basis of these plans, the Commission should propose national targets, ensurassess the aim of climate neutrality in the land sector in 2035 in light of the objectives laid down in Article 39 TFEU, the Union bioeconomy and the substitution of fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the first objective of Union agriculture should remain the production of high-quality and sustainable products. If deemed feasible, the Commission should then make recommendations for national and Union measures aiming towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2035, meaning that the Union-wide greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the land use, land use change and forestry sector and the emissions from the agriculture non-CO2 sectors are at least balanced by 2035. Contrary to the EU lthat year.

(15) In view of setting out the net greenhouse gas removals targets for the Member States for the period from 2026 to 2030, the Commission should exercise a comprehensive review to verify the greenhouse gas inventory data for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. For this purpose, a comprehensive review should be carried out in 2025 to review the target set for 2030 and adapt it, if needed, in addition to the comprehensive reviews that the Commission is to carry out in 2027 and 2032 in accordance with Article 38 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. Those reviews should also assess the feasibility of the 2035 target of climate neutrality in light of the in light of the Union bioeconomy, substitution of fossil fuels, social aspects and the objectives laid down in Article 194 and Article 39 TFEU and adapt it, if necessary.

(16) Due to the change to reporting- based targets, the greenhouse gas emissions and removals need to be estimated with a higher level of accuracy. Moreover, the Communication from the Commission on EU Biodiversity Strategy for 203038 , the Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system39 , the EU Forest Strategy40 , the updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy40a , the Communication from the Commission on Sustainable Carbon Cycles40b, the revised Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council41 and the Communication from the Commission on Forging a climate-resilient Europe - the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change42 will all require enhanced monitoring of land, thereby helping to protect and enhance the resilience of nature-based carbon removals throughout the Union. The monitoring and reporting of emissions and removals needs to be upgraded, using advanced technologies available under Union programmes, such as Copernicus, and digital data collected under the Common Agricultural Policy, applying the twin transition of green and digital innovation. __________________ 38 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 - Bringing nature back into our lives (COM(2020) 380 final). 39 COM/2020/381 final. 40 […] 40a Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions - A sustainable Bioeconomy for Europe: Strengthening the connection between economy, society and the environment (COM/2018/673 final) 40b Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on Sustainable Carbon Cycles COM(2021) 800 final 41Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82). 42 COM/2021/82 final.

(17a) Given that the changes to the accounting rules generate additional compliance costs for the land use, land use change and forestry sector, compensatory actions need to be taken in order to prevent the increase in the total level of regulatory burden. The Commission should therefore respect the "One in one out" entry into force and present, before the application of this Regulation, proposals offsetting the regulatory burdens introduced by this Regulation, through the revision or abolishment of provisions in other Union legislative acts that generate compliance costs in the affected sector.
