Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) While emission reduction targets are set for 2030 and 2050, the Union has not yet set specific Union wide applicable objectives for removal; such objectives are necessary taking into account that the EU climate-neutrality objective cannot be achieved without gradually increasing carbon removals.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The Union should aim to achieve a balance between anthropogenic economy- wide emissions and removals, through natural and technological solutions, of greenhouse gases domestically within the Union by 2050. The Union-wide 2050 climate-neutrality objective should be pursued by all Member States collectively, and the Member States, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take the necessary measures to enable its achievement. Measures at Union level will constitute an important part of the measures needed to achieve the objective. The European Commission should establish a regulatory and investments framework, for the deployment of carbon removal technologies, including setting removal objectives, and should develop a methodology to allow the calculation of the climate mitigation potential of the application of such technologies, such as CCU, which is also rolled out beyond the EU.

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) Adaptation is a key component of the long-term global response to climate change. Therefore, Member States and the Union should enhance their adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change, as provided for in Article 7 of the Paris Agreement, as well as maximise the co- benefits with other environmental policies and legislation. The Commission should develop specific indicators for measuring the progress of adaptation, while Member States should adopt comprehensive national adaptation strategies and plans.
