(4) In Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 ( ‘European Climate Law’), the Union has enshrined into legislation the target of economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050. That Regulation also establishes a binding Union domestic reduction commitment of net greenhouse gas emissions (emissions after deduction of removals) of at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. That Regulation also lays down an obligation on the Commission to make a legislative proposal, as appropriate, to introduce further intermediary targets, to ensure a swift and irreversible reduction of greenhouse gas emissions over time so as to reach the Union climate neutrality objective by 2050 at the latest and negative emissions thereafter. __________________ 32 Regulation (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).

(4 a) A transformation of the transport sector would significantly contribute to the fight against climate change. At the same time, climate change events, such as rising water levels, extreme weather conditions, drought and rising temperatures, can result in infrastructure damages, operational disruptions, pressures on supply chain capacity and efficiency, and consequently have negative implication for European mobility” It is therefore necessary, appropriate and in the interest of the sector to set a minimum sector contribution for the transport sector so as to align Union and Member State legislation and funding with the climate ambition set out in this Regulation, to regularly assess and review the achievement of the relevant objectives in the sector, and adjust transport related measures accordingly.

(4 b) As a central sector in the change to sustainability, transport must remain in the ESR regardless of any further development of the emissions trading system; at the same time, any further and future market-based solution should never stand in the way of other and supplementary legislative measures either on national or EU level to further reduce emissions from transport.

(11) For that purpose, the greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 needs to be revised for each Member State. The revision of the greenhouse gas emission reduction target should use the same methodology that was followed when Regulation (EU) 2018/842 was first adopted, where the national contributions were determined in consideration of the different capacities and cost-efficiency opportunities in Member States so to ensure a fair and balanced distribution of the effort. However, cost-efficiency opportunities should be carefully measured against the urgency of climate action and the financial opportunities made available through the Next Generation EU Recovery Package, including the new EU Budget, to make sure that Member States are using all the instruments available to reduce their country emissions in the sectors outlined in Article 2 of this Regulation. The reduction of the maximum greenhouse gas emissions for each Member State in 2030 should thus be determined in relation to the level of its 2005 reviewed greenhouse gas emissions covered by this Regulation, excluding verified greenhouse gas emissions from installations that operated in 2005 and which were only included in the emission trading system of the Union after 2005.

(15) Under Regulation (EU) 2018/842, the cancellation of a limited quantity of emission allowances in the European Union emission trading system may be taken into account for some Member States’ compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. Given the particular structure of Malta’s economy, the national reduction target of that Member State based on Gross Domestic Product per capita is significantly above its cost- effective reduction potential, is is therefore appropriate to increase Malta’s access to that flexibility, without compromising the 2030 target of the Union on emission reductions.deleted

(12a) Early climate action across the economy is essential for the resilience of the Union’s agricultural sector. In addition, climate-smart agriculture, involving both mitigation of and adaptation to climate change, is critical to tackle food sovereignty challenges within the Union and other climate change related challenges that EU farmers and rural communities face1a. It is therefore necessary, appropriate and in the interest of the sector to set a minimum sector contribution for the agricultural sector so as to align Union and Member State legislation and funding with the climate ambition set out in this Regulation, to regularly assess and review the achievement of the relevant objectives in the sector, and adjust measures in the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy accordingly. __________________ 1a https://www.fao.org/climatechange/29790 - 0178d452d0ca9af024aad1092d4b78b1d.p df

(16) In addition to that flexibility, a limited quantity of net removals and net emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (‘LULUCF’) may be taken into account for Member States’ compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 (‘the LULUCF flexibility’). In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed until 2030, it is appropriate to limitend the use of the LULUCF flexibility by separating the use of such flexibility into two separate time periods, each capped by a limit corresponding to half of the maximum amount of total net removals set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/842. It is also appropriate to bring the title of Annex III in line with the amendment to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 carried out by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 202037 . As a consequence, there is no longer a need for Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to provide for a legal basis allowing the Commission to adopt delegated acts to amend the title of its Annex III. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should therefore be deletefrom 2023 onward. __________________ 37Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 2020 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the forest reference levels to be applied by the Member States for the period 2021-2025 (OJ L 60, 22.2.2021, p. 21).

Recital 18
(18) The setting of more ambitious targets under Regulation (EU) 2018/841 will decrease the capacity of Member States to generate net removals that can be used for compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842. In addition, the split of the use of the LULUCF flexibility into two separate time periods, will further limit the availability of net removals for the purpose of compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/842. As a result, some Member States may face challenges in meeting their targets under Regulation (EU) 2018/842, while some Member States, the same or other, may generate net removals that cannot be used for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/842. As long as the Union objectives as set out in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 are met, in particular with regard to the maximum limit of the contribution of net removals, it is appropriate to create a new voluntary mechanism, in the form of an additional reserve, that will help adhering Member States to comply with their obligations.deleted

Recital 18 a (new)
(18 a) Keeping 1,5°C within reach and ensuring climate justice require a collective effort of all sectors of the economy, including from transport. Some sectors under this Regulation, such as the transport sector, have made very little progress in the past years. Minimum sector contributions to the achievement of the EU-level greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets set by this Regulation for the year 2030 and beyond, accompanied by proper monitoring, reporting and measures by the Commission, would work to ensure that all ESR sectors contribute to the timely achievement of our climate objectives. Regulation (EU)2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires Member States to develop long- term strategies contributing to the fulfilment of the Member States' commitments to the Paris Agreement objectives and the achievement of long- term GHG emission reductions and enhancements of removals by sinks in all sectors in line with the Union's climate neutrality objective.These strategies, as well as other Member State plans and reports under Regulation(EU) 2018/1999, will be used by the Commission to set and monitor the collective achievement of EU- level ESR sector targets.

(18 b) Transport is the sector with the most emissions in the Union, representing 27% of its greenhouse gas emissions. In order for the EU to reach its binding climate neutrality target by 2050, the European Green Deal calls for a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport, yet the transport sector is the only sector that has continued to increase its emissions since 1990. Therefore, it is necessary to set a clear pathway for the sector’s greenhouse gas reduction up until 2050 through EU level minimum sector contributions.
