REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council Amending Regulations (EU) 2018/841 as regards the scope, simplifying the compliance rules, setting out the targets of the Member States for 2030 and committing to the collective achievement of climate neutrality by 2035 in the land use, forestry and agriculture sector, and (EU) 2018/1999 as regards improvement in monitoring, reporting, tracking of progress and review

(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 Soil Strategy 39a the EU Forest Strategy40 , 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 satellite and on site monitoring and reporting of emissions and removals needs to be upgraded, making full use of already existing tools such as LUCAS statistical survey, 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. 39a Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions EU Soil Strategy for 2030 Reaping the benefits of healthy soils for people, food, nature and climate COM(2021) 699 final 40 […] 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.

(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 2030. The Union target will be further enhanced by the activities and achievements within the EU Sustainable Carbon Cycles initiative33a and national carbon farming schemes, which should aim at delivering of at least 50 million additional tonnes of CO2 equivalent of net removals by 2030. The methodology used to establish the national targets for 2030 should take into account the average greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, 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). 33a COM(2021) 800 final

(10) In order to enhance greenhouse gas removals, individual farm beyond the Union 2030 target, individual farmers, land and forest owners or forest managers need ashould benefit from direct incentives to store more carbon and amplify environmental outcomes on their land and their forests. New business models based on carbon farming incentives and on the certification of carbon removals need to be increasingly deployed in the period until 2030. Such incentives andUptake of nature-based solutions and sustainable business models will enhance climate mitigation in the bio- economy, including through the use of durable harvested wood products, in full respect of ecological principles fostering biodiversity and the circular economy. Hence, new categories of carbon storagethe harvested wood products category should be introducestablished ion addition to the harvested wood productthe basis of scientific evidence and should include durable products with clear long life spans. The emerging business models, farming and land management practices to enhance removals contribute to a balanced territorial development and economic growth in rural areas. They also create opportunities for new jobs and provide incentives for relevant training, reskilling and upskilling.

A flexibility mechanism linked to natural disturbances should be available to Member States in 2032, provided that they have exhausted all other flexibilities at their disposal, put in place appropriate measures to reducminimize the vulnerability of their land to such disturbances and that the achievement by the Union of the 2030 target for the land use, land use change and forestry sector is completed, submitted sufficient evidence proving that the positive result is directly linked to the impact of natural disturbances in their territory and provided that the achievement by the Union of the 2030 target for the land use, land use change and forestry sector is completed. The Commission should be allowed to reject evidence from a Member State that is unreliable, or to request more evidence from a Member State.

For emissions and removals for a carbon pool that accounts for at least 25-30 % of emissions or removals in a source or sink category which is prioritised within a Member State's national inventory system because its estimate has a significant influence on a country's total inventory of GHGs in terms of the absolute level of emissions and removals, the trend in emissions and removals, or the uncertainty in emissions and removals in the land use categories, and from 2026 for all carbon pool emission and removal estimates, at least Tier 2 methodology in accordance with the 2006 and 2013 IPCC guidelines for national GHG inventories.
