OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry into the 2030 climate and energy framework and amending Regulation No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other information relevant to climate change

(4) The Paris Agreement, inter alia, sets out a long-term goal in line with the objective to keep the global temperature increase well below 2°C above pre- industrial levels and to pursue efforts to keep it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels which requires the world to enter into a period of negative emissions, where forests will play a central role. In order to achieve this goal, the Parties should prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions. The Paris Agreement replaces the approach taken under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which will not be continued beyond 2020. The Paris Agreement also calls for a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, and invites Parties to take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases, including forests.

(4a) To achieve negative emissions required to meet the Paris Agreement goals, removals of CO2 from the atmosphere through land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) must be ambitious, and should not be used to offset emissions reductions from other sources. As removals through LULUCF are reversible, they should not be used to compensate for emissions and should be treated as a separate pillar in the Union climate policy framework.

(4b) Agriculture and land use have a direct and significant impact upon Union biodiversity and related ecosystems services. An important objective of any policy affecting the sector needs to ensure coherence with Union Biodiversity Strategy objectives including halting and reversing the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as with the Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1a and Council Directive 92/43/EEC1b. ___________________________ 1aDirective 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds (OJ L 20, 26.1.2010, p. 7). 1b Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7).

Increasing the absorption of CO2 by forests is a critical prerequisite for achieving the Paris Agreement objectives, particularly the 1.5°C target.

(11) The internationally agreed IPCC Guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories state that emissions from the combustion of biomass can be accounted as zero in the energy sector with the condition that these emissions are accounted for in the LULUCF sector. In the EU, emissions from biomass combustion are accounted as zero pursuant to Article 38 of Regulation (EU) No. 601/2012 and the provisions set out in Regulation (EU) No. 525/2013, hence consistency with the IPCC Guidelines would only be ensured if these emissions should be covered accurately under this Regulatione robust and transparent rules. However given the urgency for climate action to stay in line with Paris Agreement objectives, in terms of policies and measures, only bioenergy from waste and residues should be considered carbon neutral.

(13) NAvoiding negative impacts on the forest carbon sink from natural disturbances, such as wildfires, insect and disease infestations, extreme weather events and geological disturbances that are beyond the control of, and not materially influenced by, a Member State, may result in greenhouse gas emissions of a temporary nature in the LULUCF sector, or may cause the reversal of previous removals. As reversal can also be the result of management decisions, such as decisions to harvest or plant trees, this Regulatishould be part of sustainable forest management practices by Member States. Such reasons should ensure that human-induced reversals of removals are always accurately reflected in LULUCF accounts. Moreover, this Regulation should provide Member States with a limited possibility to exclude emissions resulting from disturbances that are beyond their control from their LULUCF accounts. However, the manner in which Member States apply those provisions should not lead to undue under-accountingnot be used as an excuse for clear cutting or measures with undue negative impacts on biodiversity.

(14) Depending on national preferences, Member States should be able to choose adequate national policies for achieving their commitments in LULUCF, including the possibility of compensating emissions from one land category by removals from another land category. They should also be able to cumulate net removals over the period 2021-2030. Trading among Member States should continue as an additional option to help compliance. Following the practice in the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, there should also be a possibility for a Member State to use its overachievement under Regulation [] on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 for a resilient Energy Union and to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and other information relevant to climate change in order to ensure its compliance with its commitment under this Regulation.
