In addition, '‘greenhouse gas emissions’ means the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) from sources, expressed in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent, as determined pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC. In the event of the conclusion of an international agreement as referred to in Article 3(1), or in the event that no international agreement has been ratified by the Community and the Member States by 31 December 2012, the meaning of ‘greenhouse gas emissions’ also includes removal of these gases by sinks in accordance with the terms of that agreement or, in the absence of an agreement, in accordance with harmonised modalities applied by Member States.

Article 3 a (new)
Article 3a The Community greenhouse gas emissions from sectors not covered under Directive 2003/87/EC shall continue to decrease beyond 2020 on an annual pathway leading to an overall reduction of at least 80% compared to 1990 levels by 2050, with the ultimate objective of eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use within the European Union. The Commission shall examine by 2011 whether it is appropriate to differentiate the Community reduction target for a further period, otherwise Member States shall ensure annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions of their emissions covered by this Decision by a uniform reduction factor.

Article 7 a (new)
Article 7a Support from Community measures towards the commitments of Member States 1. Where planned Community policies and measures could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on the achievement of the greenhouse gas emissions reduction commitments by Member States, the impact assessment for each proposal shall include a quantification of the impact on greenhouse gas emissions in respect of each Member State, and for the Community as a whole. 2. By 31 December 2010, and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall draw up a report on the positive and negative impacts that Community policies and measures have on the efforts of each Member State, and for the Community as a whole, to limit greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with Article 3(1) and Article 6(3).
