Recital 14 a (new)
(14 a) Member States are required, under Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol, to ensure that the use of the Kyoto flexible mechanisms is supplemental to domestic action, with a view to narrowing per capita differences in emissions between developed and developing countries. At least half of the absolute reductions below historical baseline emissions should be realised within the Union. Union law also contains specific provisions regarding certain types of Clean Development Mechanism project credits which should be distinguished in the Member States' registries and reporting.

Recital 14 b (new)
Recital 14 b (new)
(14 b) Any carry-over of assigned amount units (AAUs) between commitment periods under the Kyoto Protocol will affect the ambition level of the aggregate reductions and the resulting gap regarding the reductions necessary to limit climate change to 2 °C. Despite the need to limit carry-over in order to preserve the environmental integrity of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, AAU carry-over accounts should be maintained in registries and reporting.

Article 4 – paragraph 1 – point b
(b) meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments of Member States under Decision No 406/2009/EC and achieving long-term emission reductions and enhancements of removals by sinks in all sectors in line with the Union's objective to reduce domestic emissions by 80 to 95% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels, in the context of necessary reductions, according to the IPCC, by developed countries as a group.
