Proposal for a decision
Recital 2

(2) Article 9 of Decision No 406/2009/EC requires the Commission to assess modalities to include greenhouse gas emissions and removals resulting from activities related to land use, land use change and forestry into the Union’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitment, whilst ensuring the permanence and environmental integrity of the contribution of the sector, and providing for accurate monitoring and accounting of the relevant emissions and removals. This Decision should, therefore, as a first step, 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.

Recital 4

(4) The LULUCF accounting rules should reflect efforts made in the agriculture and forestry sectors to enhance the contribution of changes made to the use of land resources to the reduction of emissions. 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.

Article 8

management, grazing land management, revegetation, and wetland drainage and 1. In accounts relating to cropland management and grazing land management, Member States shall reflect emissions and removals resulting from such activities, calculated as emissions and removals in each accounting period specified in Annex I, minus the value obtained by multiplying the number of years in that accounting period by a Member State’s emissions and removals resulting from such activities in its base year, as submitted to the UNFCCC in that Member State’s reviewed initial report on base year emission data pursuant to the Annex of Decision 13/CMP.1. 2. Where a Member State elects to draw up and maintain accounts for revegetation, and/or wetland drainage and rewetting, it shall apply the calculation method specified in paragraph 1. In accounts relating to wetland drainage and rewetting, Member States shall reflect emissions and removals resulting from that activity on all lands that have been drained since 1990 and all lands that have been rewetted since 1990.Article 8 deleted Accounting rules for cropland rewetting
