This Decision should, therefore, as a first step,. As a result of this assessment the Commission is proposing a so-called LULUCF legislative package comprising two interlinked legislative acts: a decision on accounting rules for LULUCF as a first step, and a legislative act on the formal inclusion of the LULUCF sector in the Union and the Member States' greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments as a second step. This Decision should, therefore set out accounting rules applicable to greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the LULUCF sector. To ensure the preservation and enhancement of carbon stocks in the interim, it should also provide for Member States to adopt LULUCF Action Plans setting out measures to limit or reduce emissions, and to maintain or increase removals, from the LULUCF sector. The second legislative proposal on the formal inclusion of the LULUCF sector in the Union and the Member States' greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments will follow subsequently.

The Union and its Member States should jointly fulfil the commitment of the cap of 3.5 per cent as specified in the UNFCCC Decision 2/CMP.7. agreed in Durban. The modalities of this joint fulfilment will be prepared by the Commission in a separate, second legislative act on formal inclusion of the LULUCF sector in the Union and the Member States' greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments within the LULUCF legislative package. This Decision should provide for accounting rules applicable on a mandatory basis to the forestry activities of afforestation, reforestation, deforestation and forest management, and to the agricultural activities of grazing land management and cropland management. It should also provide for accounting rules applicable on a voluntary basis to revegetation and wetland drainage and rewetting activities.
