Question for written answer E-001725/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
César Luena (S&D)
According to the report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the operation of Regulation (EU) 2018/841 (LULUCF Regulation), implementation of the regulation is not on track.
At a time when difficulties are compounded by climate change, the flexibilities established by the LULUCF Regulation are important. Of particular importance is the flexibility regarding the long-term impact of climate change, with the obstacles it poses to creating and maintaining carbon sinks and, therefore, meeting the regulation’s ambitious targets.
In view of the above:
- 1.Does the Commission believe that the EU’s carbon removal target for 2030 will be met, and what steps does it intend to propose and implement if the target is not met?
- 2.Given that one of the conditions for using climate flexibility is that the EU meets its target, has the Commission decided what to do if the removal target is not met and that flexibility cannot be used?
- 3.When does the Commission intend to submit a delegated act to establish how that flexibility can be used?
