Article 18 Amendments to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013
|
Article 18 Amendments to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 is amended as follows:
(1)
In Article 7, paragraph 1 is amended as follows:
(a)
the following point is inserted:
‘(da)
as of 2023, their emissions and removals covered by Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council (
6
) in accordance with the methodologies specified in Annex IIIa to this Regulation;
(b)
the following subparagraph is added:
‘A Member State may request to be granted a derogation by the Commission from point (da) of the first subparagraph to apply a different methodology from that specified in Annex IIIa where the methodology improvement required cannot be achieved in time for the improvement to be taken into account in the greenhouse gas inventories for the period from 2021 to 2030, or where the cost of the methodology improvement would be disproportionately high compared to the benefits of applying such methodology to improve accounting for emissions and removals due to the low significance of the emissions and removals from the carbon pools concerned. Member States wishing to benefit from this derogation shall submit a reasoned request to the Commission by 31 December 2020, indicating by which time the methodology improvement could be implemented, the alternative methodology proposed or both, and an assessment of the potential impacts on the accuracy of accounting. The Commission may request additional information to be submitted within a specific, reasonable time period. Where the Commission considers that the request is justified, it shall grant the derogation. If the Commission rejects the request, it shall give reasons for its decision.’.
(2)
In point (c) of Article 13(1), the following point is added:
‘(viii)
as of 2023, information on national policies and measures implemented to meet their obligations under Regulation (EU) 2018/841 and information on additional national policies and measures planned with a view to limiting greenhouse gas emissions or enhancing sinks beyond their commitments under that Regulation;’.
(3)
In Article 14(1), the following point is inserted:
‘(ba)
as of 2023, total greenhouse gas projections and separate estimates for the projected greenhouse gas emissions and removals covered by Regulation (EU) 2018/841’.
(4)
The following Annex is inserted:
‘ANNEX IIIA Methodologies for monitoring and reporting referred to in point (da) of Article 7(1) Approach 3: Geographically-explicit land-use conversion data in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Tier 1 methodology in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. For emissions and removals for a carbon pool that accounts for at least 25-30 % of emissions or removals in a source or sink category which is prioritised within a Member State’s national inventory system because its estimate has a significant influence on a country’s total inventory of greenhouse gases in terms of the absolute level of emissions and removals, the trend in emissions and removals, or the uncertainty in emissions and removals in the land-use categories, at least Tier 2 methodology in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Member States are encouraged to apply Tier 3 methodology, in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.’.

ANNEX IV NATIONAL FORESTRY ACCOUNTING PLAN CONTAINING A MEMBER STATE’S FOREST REFERENCE LEVEL A. Criteria and guidance for determining forest reference level
A Member State’s forest reference level shall be determined in accordance with the following criteria:
(a)
the reference level shall be consistent with the goal of achieving a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, including enhancing the potential removals by ageing forest stocks that may otherwise show progressively declining sinks;
(b)
the reference level shall ensure that the mere presence of carbon stocks is excluded from accounting;
(c)
the reference level should ensure a robust and credible accounting system that ensures that emissions and removals resulting from biomass use are properly accounted for;
(d)
the reference level shall include the carbon pool of harvested wood products, thereby providing a comparison between assuming instantaneous oxidation and applying the first-order decay function and half-life values;
(e)
a constant ratio between solid and energy use of forest biomass as documented in the period from 2000 to 2009 shall be assumed;
(f)
the reference level should be consistent with the objective of contributing to the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources, as set out in the EU forest strategy, Member States’ national forest policies, and the EU biodiversity strategy;
(g)
the reference level shall be consistent with the national projections of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks reported under Regulation (EU) No 525/2013;
(h)
the reference level shall be consistent with greenhouse gas inventories and relevant historical data and shall be based on transparent, complete, consistent, comparable and accurate information. In particular, the model used to construct the reference level shall be able to reproduce historical data from the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory.
B. Elements of the national forestry accounting plan
The national forestry accounting plan submitted pursuant to Article 8 shall contain the following elements:
(a)
a general description of the determination of the forest reference level and a description of how the criteria in this Regulation were taken into account;
(b)
identification of the carbon pools and greenhouse gases which have been included in the forest reference level, reasons for omitting a carbon pool from the forest reference level determination, and demonstration of the consistency between the carbon pools included in the forest reference level;
(c)
a description of approaches, methods and models, including quantitative information, used in the determination of the forest reference level, consistent with the most recently submitted national inventory report, and a description of documentary information on sustainable forest management practices and intensity as well as of adopted national policies;
(d)
information on how harvesting rates are expected to develop under different policy scenarios;
(e)
a description of how each of the following elements were considered in the determination of the forest reference level:
(i)
the area under forest management;
(ii)
emissions and removals from forests and harvested wood products as shown in greenhouse gas inventories and relevant historical data;
(iii)
forest characteristics, including dynamic age-related forest characteristics, increments, rotation length and other information on forest management activities under ‘business as usual’;
(iv)
historical and future harvesting rates disaggregated between energy and non-energy uses.

ANNEX V FIRST ORDER DECAY FUNCTION, METHODOLOGIES AND DEFAULT HALF-LIFE VALUES FOR HARVESTED WOOD PRODUCTS Methodological issues
—
If it is not possible to differentiate between harvested wood products in the land accounting categories of afforested land and managed forest land, a Member State may choose to account for harvested wood products assuming that all emissions and removals occurred on managed forest land.
—
Harvested wood products in solid waste disposal sites and harvested wood products that were harvested for energy purposes shall be accounted for on the basis of instantaneous oxidation.
—
Imported harvested wood products, irrespective of their origin, shall not be accounted for by the importing Member State (‘production approach’).
—
For exported harvested wood products, country-specific data refer to country-specific half-life values and harvested wood products usage in the importing country.
—
Country-specific half-life values for harvested wood products placed on the market in the Union should not deviate from those used by the importing Member State.
—
Member States may, for information purposes only, provide in their submission data on the share of wood used for energy purposes that was imported from outside the Union, and the countries of origin for such wood.
Member States may use country-specific methodologies and half-life values instead of the methodologies and default half-life values specified in this Annex, provided that such methodologies and values are determined on the basis of transparent and verifiable data and that the methodologies used are at least as detailed and accurate as those specified in this Annex. Default half-life values: Half-life value means the number of years it takes for the quantity of carbon stored in a harvested wood products category to decrease to one half of its initial value. Default half-life values shall be as follows:
(b)
25 years for wood panels;
Member States may specify the wood-based material products, including bark, which fall within the categories referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) above, based on IPCC Guidelines as adopted by the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC or the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, provided that the available data are transparent and verifiable. Member States may also use country-specific sub-categories of any of those categories. |

ANNEX VI CALCULATION OF BACKGROUND LEVELS FOR NATURAL DISTURBANCES
1.
For the calculation of the background level, the following information shall be provided:
(a)
historical levels of emissions caused by natural disturbances;
(b)
the type(s) of natural disturbance included in the estimation;
▼M2
(c)
total annual emissions estimations for those natural disturbance types for the period from 2001 to 2020, listed by land accounting categories in the period from 2021 to 2025 and land reporting categories in the period from 2026 to 2030;
▼B
(d)
a demonstration of the time series consistency in all relevant parameters, including minimum area, emission estimation methodologies, coverages of carbon pools and gases.
2.
The background level is calculated as the average of the 2001-2020 time series excluding all years for which abnormal levels of emissions were recorded, i.e. excluding all statistical outliers. The identification of statistical outliers shall be undertaken as follows:
(a)
calculate the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the full time series 2001-2020;
(b)
exclude from the time series all years for which the annual emissions are outside twice the standard deviation around the average;
(c)
calculate again the arithmetic average value and the standard deviation of the time series 2001-2020 minus the years excluded in point (b);
(d)
repeat points (b) and (c) until no outliers can be identified.
▼M2
3.
After calculating the background level pursuant to point 2 of this Annex, if emissions in a particular year in the periods from 2021 to 2025 for land accounting categories afforested land and managed forest land as set out in Article 2(1) exceed the background level plus a margin, the amount of emissions exceeding the background level may be excluded in accordance with Article 10. The margin shall be equal to a probability level of 95 %.
4.
The following emissions shall not be excluded in the application of Article 10:
(a)
emissions resulting from harvesting and salvage logging activities that took place on land following the occurrence of natural disturbances;
(b)
emissions resulting from prescribed burning that took place on land in any year of the period from 2021 to 2025;
(c)
emissions on lands that were subject to deforestation following the occurrence of natural disturbances.
▼B
5.
Information requirements pursuant to Article 10(2) include the following:
▼M2 —————
▼M2
(b)
evidence that no deforestation has occurred during the rest of the period from 2021 to 2025 on lands that were affected by natural disturbances and in respect of which emissions were excluded from accounting;
(c)
a description of verifiable methods and criteria to be used to identify deforestation on those lands in the subsequent years of the period from 2021 to 2025.
▼M2 —————
▼M2
6.
Information requirements pursuant to Article 10(2) and Articles 13 and 13b include the following:
(a)
identification of all land areas affected by natural disturbances in that particular year, including their geographical location, the period and types of natural disturbances;
(b)
where feasible, a description of measures the Member State undertook to prevent or limit the impact of those natural disturbances;
(c)
where feasible, a description of measures the Member State undertook to rehabilitate the lands affected by those natural disturbances.
