This Regulation also lays down rules for setting a minimum emissions reduction contribution of 20% below 2005 levels in 2030 from the agriculture sector. Finally, this Regulation lays down rules on determining annual emission allocations, for the evaluation of Member States’ progress towards meeting their minimum contributions, and for determining Member States emission reduction targets for 2035 and 2040 in the sectors covered by Article 2(1).

What constitutes a sufficient interest shall be determined by Member States, consistently with the objective of giving the public concerned wide access to justice and in conformity with the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters. To that end, the interest of any non- governmental organisation promoting environmental protection and meeting any requirements under national law shall be deemed to have sufficient interest for the purposes of this paragraph. 3.
