(3) On 10 June 2016 the Commission presented the proposal for the EU to ratify the Paris agreement. This legislative proposal forms part of the implementation of the EU's commitment in the Paris agreement and recognises the need to limit the rise in temperature to 1.5° by the end of the century. The Union's commitment to economy-wide emission reductions was confirmed in the intended nationally determined contribution of the Union and its Member States that was submitted to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC on 6 March 2015.

(5) The transition to clean energy requires changes in investment behaviour and incentives across the entire policy spectrum, starting with the reduction and optimisation of energy consumption. It is a key Union priority to establish a resilient Energy Union to provide secure, sustainable, competitive and affordable energy to its citizens. Achieving this requires continuation of ambitious climate action with this Regulation and progress on the other aspects of Energy Union as set out in the Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward- Looking Climate Change Policy16. __________________ 16 COM(2015) 80.

(7) Data currently reported in the national greenhouse gas inventories and the national and Union registries are not sufficient to determine, at Member State level, the CO2 civil aviation emissions at national level that are not covered by Directive 2003/87/EC. In adopting reporting obligations, the Union should not impose upon Member States and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) burdens that are disproportionate to the objectives pursued. emissions from flights not covered by Directive 2003/87/EC represent only a very minor part of the total greenhouse gas emissions, and establishing a reporting system for these emissions would be unduly burdensome in the light of existing requirements for the wider sector pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC. Therefore, CO2 emissions from IPCC source category ‘1.A.3.A civil aviation’ should be treated as being equal to zero for the purposes of this Regulation. provision should be made for subscription to a fund to finance national compensation measures for CO2 emissions from IPCC source category ‘1.A.3.A civil aviation’ for the purposes of this Regulation. The annual subscription charge should be calculated on the basis of an estimate of emissions inferred from fuel consumption in the previous year, to which the market price for the CO2 quotas for the sectors covered by Directive 2003/87/EC should be applied.

(9) The approach of annually binding national limits taken in Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council19 should be continued from 2021 to 2030, with the start of the trajectory calculation in 202018 on the average of the greenhouse gas emissions during 20164 to 20186 and the end of the trajectory being the 2030 limit for each Member State. An adjustment to the allocation in 2021 is provided for Member States with both a positive limit under Decision 406/2009/EC and increasing annual emission allocations between 2017 and 2020 determined pursuant to Decisions 2013/162/EU and 2013/634/EU, to reflect the capacity for increased emissions in those years. The European Council concluded that the availability and use of existing flexibility instruments within the non-ETS sectors should be significantly enhanced in order to ensure cost- effectiveness of the collective Union effort and convergence of emissions per capita by 2030. __________________ 19 Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020 (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 136).

(9a) The emissions reduction of each Member State from 2031 onwards should intend to achieve at least a linear trajectory leading, to at least 95% greenhouse gas emission reduction, to be achieved reliably by 2050 compared to the 2005 baseline. Each Member State should continue beyond 2031 to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions covered by this Regulation. In order to achieve this goal, they should take into account the international objectives of attaining a stable equilibrium between anthropogenic emissions and removal of sinks in the second half of this century. The Commission should present a legislative proposal to achieve this end.

(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, tThe application of deductions should only be considered at five-year intervals, so that the potential contribution from deforested land, afforested landmust be annual, managed cropland and managed grassland taking place pursuant to Regulation [ ] can be considered.
