Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) The land sector has the potential to become rapidly climate-neutral by 2035 in a cost-effective manner, and subsequently generate more greenhouse gas removals than emissions. A collectiMember State level 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 within an indicative range, ensuring that the Union-wideMember State level 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 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).

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 a (new)
(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 total level of regulatory burden from increasing. The Commission should therefore be obliged to present, before the application of this Regulation, proposals for 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.

Article 4 – paragraph 3
3. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts setting out the annual targets based on the linear trajectory for net greenhouse gas removals for each Member State, for each year in the period from 2026 to 2029 in terms of tonnes CO2 equivalent. These national trajectories shall be based on the average greenhouse gas inventory data for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023, reported by each Member State. The value of the Member State indicative targets set out in Annex IIa and the 310 million tonnes CO2 equivalent net removals as a sum of the targets for Member States set out in Annex IIa may be subject to a technical correction due to a change of methodology by Member States. The method for determination of the technical correction to be added to the targets of thea Member States, shall should correspond to the effect of the change in methodology on the targets and be set out in these implementing acts. For the purpose of those implementing acts, the Commission shall carry out a comprehensive review of the most recent national inventory data for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 submitted by Member States pursuant to Article 26(4) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.

Following the report, the Commission shall make legislative proposals where it deems it appropriate. In particular, the proposals shall set out annual targets and governance aiming towards the 2035 Member State level climate-neutrality target as laid down in Article 4(4), additional Union policies and measures, and a post-2035 framework, including in the scope of the Regulation greenhouse gas emissions and removals from additional sectors, such as the marine and freshwater environment.;
