OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change
Amendments (2)
Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) The Union and the Member States should strive to provide the most up-to- date information on their greenhouse gas emissions, in particular under the framework of the Europe 2020 strategy and its specified timelines, and in the framework of the European space policy and strategy, which addresses important challenges such as natural disasters, resources and climate monitoring, for the benefit of Union citizens. In that respect, space-based data should be considered as key monitoring tools for the Union and the Member States due to their capacity to improve the overall picture of CO2 and CH4 emissions, as well as LULUCF. To that end, the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme and other satellite systems should be used to the maximum extent to provide timely emission reporting (global daily measurement of CO2 and CH4 man- made and rural emissions as well as CO2 sinks) and independent verifications of the calculated emission reports. This Regulation should enable such estimates to be prepared in the shortest timeframes possible by using statistical and other information.
