(12) Regulation [ ] [on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry into the 2030 climate and energy framework] lays down accounting rules on greenhouse gas emissions and removals relating to land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). While the environmental outcome under this Regulation in terms of the levels of greenhouse gas emission reductions that are made is affected by taking into account a quantity up to the sum of total net removals and total net emissions from deforested land, afforested land, managed cropland, managed forest land and managed grassland as defined in Regulation [ ], flexibility for a maximum quantity of 280425 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent of these removals divided among Member States according to the figures in Annex III should be included as an additional possibility for Member States to meet their commitments when needed. Where the delegated act to update the forest reference levels based on the national forestry accounting plans pursuant to Article 8 (6) of Regulation [LULUCF] is adopted, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of Article 7 to reflect a contribution of the accounting category managed forest land in the flexibility provided by that Article. Before adopting such a delegated act, the Commission should evaluate the robustness of accounting for managed forest land based on available data, and in particular the consistency of projected and actual harvesting rates. In accordance with the European Council conclusions of October 2014, the optimisation of the sector's contribution shall be done in any case before 2020 to be taken into account during the period starting in 2021. In addition, the possibility to voluntarily delete annual emission allocation units should be allowed under this Regulation in order to allow for such amounts to be taken into account when assessing Member States' compliance with requirements under Regulation [ ].

(12 a) The climate change policy of the Union should not limit removals from sustainably managed forest land. Complete accounting of these removals would help promote additional mitigation action, keep forests in good environmental conditions and give more coherence to the Union policies.

(13) In order to ensure efficient, transparent and cost-effective reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions and of other information necessary to assess progress with Member State's annual emissions allocations, the requirements for annual reporting and evaluation under this Regulation are integrated with the relevant Articles under Regulation (EU) No. 525/2013, which should therefore be amended accordingly. The amendment of that Regulation should also ensure that progress of Member States in making emission reductions continues to be evaluated annually, taking into account progress in Union policies and measures and information from Member States. Every two years, the evaluation should include the projected progress of the Union towards meeting its reduction commitments and of Member States towards fulfilling their obligations. However, the application of deductions should only be considered at five-year intervals, so that the potential contribution from deforested land, afforested land, managed cropland, managed forest land and managed grassland taking place pursuant to Regulation [ ] can be considered. This is without prejudice to the duty of the Commission to ensure compliance with the obligations of Member States resulting from this Regulation or to the power of the Commission to initiate infringement proceedings for this purpose.

3. A Member State whose greenhouse gas emissions for a given year are below its annual emission allocation for that year, taking into account the use of flexibilities pursuant to this Article, Article 6, and Article 67, may bank that excess part of its annual emission allocation to subsequent years until 2030.

5. A Member State may transfer the part of its annual emission allocation for a given year that exceeds its greenhouse gas emissions for that year, taking into account the use of flexibilities pursuant to paragraphs 2 to 4, Article 6 and Article 67, to other Member States. A receiving Member State may use this quantity for compliance under Article 9 for that year or subsequently until 2030.

Article 7 – paragraph 1 – introductory part
1. To the extent that a Member State's emissions exceed its annual emission allocations for a given year, a quantity up to the sum of total net removals and total net emissions from the combined accounting categories of deforested land, afforested land, managed cropland, managed forest land and managed grassland referred to in Article 2 of Regulation [ ] [LULUCF] may be taken into account by a Member State for its compliance under Article 9 of this Regulation for that year, provided that:

Article 14 – paragraph 1 a (new)
On the basis of the February 2024 report and any new international developments and/or rules, the Commission shall adopt a proposal to set the Member States' national emission reductions for the period from 2031 to 2040 and, if appropriate, for the period from 2041 to 2050. That proposal shall respect the principles of fairness and cost- effectiveness, take into account Member States' removals that have not been used during the period from 2021 to 2030 and the need to compensate those Member States that comply with their national emission reductions in advance of 2030.
