(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry in the 2030 climate and energy framework, and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 and Decision No 529/2013/EU 1 , and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In 2025, the Commission, assisted by the European Environment Agency, carried out a comprehensive review of the national greenhouse gas inventory data submitted by the Member States for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, as well as 2021, 2022 and 2023, in accordance with Article 38(1a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council 2 . The reviewed inventory data are the basis for the calculation of Member States’ linear trajectories with the annual limit values.
(2) The linear trajectory for each Member State is a straight line. Its starting value in the year 2022 equals to the average value of the reviewed annual inventory data for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 as submitted in 2025. The ending value in the year 2030 equals to the value obtained by adding the value of the Member State’s target from column C of Annex IIa to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 to the average value of the reviewed annual inventory data for the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 as submitted in 2025.
(3) The annual limit values for the years 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 for each Member State are the values that are located on the linear trajectory of that Member State for each of those years.
(4) With regard to the compliance check and after the comprehensive review of the national greenhouse gas inventory data to be carried out in 2032, it is appropriate to adjust the linear trajectory for Member States that changed the methodology for calculation of their national inventory data as set out in Article 14(1a) of Regulation (EU) 2018/841. For the Member States concerned, the starting value and the ending value of their linear trajectory are to be adjusted by the respective methodological adjustment established on the basis of the greenhouse gas inventory to be submitted in 2032.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,
