(5) In order to implement those commitments as well as the Union’s contributions under the Paris Agreement33 adopted under the UNFCCC, the Union regulatory framework to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction target should be adapted. This includes assessing the current accounting rules, especially in regard to methane, where differences between sources and cycles of biogenic and fossil methane emissions have to be examined. In line with Article 2, paragraph 1, point (b), of the Paris Agreement, the achievement of the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are to be ensured in a manner that does not threaten food production. __________________ 33 Paris Agreement (OJ L 282, 19.10.2016, p. 4).

(11) For that purpose, the greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 needs to be revised for each Member State. The revision of the greenhouse gas emission reduction target should use the same methodology that was followed when Regulation (EU) 2018/842 was first adopted, where the national contributions were determined in consideration of the different capacities and cost-efficiency opportunities in Member States so to ensure a fair and balanced distribution of the effort. Member States with a higher Gross Domestic Product per capita should not be burdened disproportionally. The reduction of the maximum greenhouse gas emissions for each Member State in 2030 should thus be determined in relation to the level of its 2005 reviewed greenhouse gas emissions covered by this Regulation, excluding verified greenhouse gas emissions from installations that operated in 2005 and which were only included in the emission trading system of the Union after 2005.

(16) In addition to that flexibility, a limited quantity of net removals and net emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (‘LULUCF’) may be taken into account for Member States’ compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 (‘the LULUCF flexibility’). In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed until 2030, it is appropriate to limit the use of the LULUCF flexibility by separating the use of such flexibility into two separate time periods, each capped by a limit corresponding to half of the maximum amount of total net removals set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/842. It is also appropriate to bring the title of Annex III in line with the amendment to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 carried out by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 202037 . As a consequence, there is no longer a need for Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to provide for a legal basis allowing the Commission to adopt delegated acts to amend the title of its Annex III. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should therefore be deleted. __________________ 37Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268 of 28 October 2020 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the forest reference levels to be applied by the Member States for the period 2021-2025 (OJ L 60, 22.2.2021, p. 21).
