Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Emissions and removals from forest land depend on a number of natural circumstances, age-class structure, as well as past and present management practices. The use of a base year would not make it possible to reflect those factors and resulting cyclical impacts on emissions and removals or their interannual variation. The relevant accounting rules should instead provide for the use of reference levels to exclude the effects of natural and country- specific characteristics, such as the impossibility of managing forests in Croatia due to the occupation of its territory, the Croatian War of Independence, and wartime and post-war circumstances. In the absence of the international review under the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol, a review procedure should be established to ensure transparency and improve the quality of accounting in this category.

(10) WThen the Commission chooses to be assisted by an expert review team in accordance with Commission Decision (C(2016)3301) in the review of national forestry accounting plans, it should procedure for setting the forest reference level by the Member States should be transparent and aligned with the requirements for sustainable forest management of Forest Europe (Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe)1a . The Commission should assist the Member States by building on the good practice and experience of the expert reviews under the UNFCCC, including as regards participation of national experts and recommendations, and select a sufficient number of experts from the Member States. In this context, it is appropriate for the Commission to provide technical assistance on the verification of compliance with the criteria set out in Annex IV, following the consultation of the Standing Forestry Committee established by Council Decision 89/367/EEC1b. __________________ 1aForest Europe - Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe, Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Legally Binding Agreement on Forests in Europe: http://www.foresteurope.org/. 1bCouncil Decision 89/367/EEC of 29 May 1989 setting up a Standing Forestry Committee (OJ L 165, 15.6.1989, p. 14).
