Paragraph 6
6. Notes that within the wider circular economy, the uptake of carbon removals and increased circularity of carbon should be incentivised; calls on the Commission, in accordance with the EU Climate Law, to explore the development of a regulatory framework for the certification of carbon removals on the basis of robust and transparent carbon accounting that takes into account the differences between the greenhouse gases, and to verify the authenticity of carbon removals and reward farmers for their mitigation efforts; considers that the replacement of more costly domestic products (that are nevertheless compatible with climate targets) with cheaper imports (that are not) cancels out the green transition under the Common Agricultural Policy.
