(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. The Climate Law establishes that when implementing the target, swift and predictable emission reductions should be given priority and, at the same time, removals by natural sinks should be enhanced. The contribution of net removals to the 2030 target is limited to 225 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, while the rest of the target has to be achieved through direct emissions reductions. __________________ 32Regulation (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).

(9a) Beyond 2030, it is necessary that the Union as well as each Member State reach the Union-wide climate-neutrality objective by 2050. Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should ensure that all Member States are brought on emissions trajectories, and adopt concrete long-term policies, that lead to this target.

(10) In order to achieve the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55%, the sectors covered by Regulation (EU) 2018/842 will need to reduce their emissions progressively until they reach- at least -40% in 2030, compared to 2005 levels.

Recital 13
(13) The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Union’s economy and its level of emissions to a degree that cannot yet be fully quantified. On the other hand, the Union is deploying its largest stimulus package ever, also having a potential impact on the level of emissions. Due to those uncertainties, it is appropriate to review theIt is important to maintain a stable, predictable and ambitious regulatory emissions dpata in 2025 and, if necessary, readjust the annual emission allocationshway throughout the ongoing decade in order to ensure both the necessary emissions reductions and planning security.

(1) In Article 1, “30%” is replaced by “40%”; is replaced by the following: Subject matter This Regulation lays down obligations on Member States with respect to their minimum contributions for the period from 2021 to 2030 to fulfilling the Union’s target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 % below 2005 levels in 2030 in the sectors covered by Article 2 of this Regulation. It also contributes to the long-term target of climate neutrality in all Member States by 2050 at the latest. It thereby contributes to achieving the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 1a and the Paris Agreement. This Regulation also lays down rules on determining annual emission allocations and for the evaluation of Member States’ progress towards meeting their minimum contributions. __________________ 1aRegulation (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).
