    on structure, format, submission processes and review of information reported by Member States pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014

    THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

    Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/23/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council 1 , and in particular Articles 19(5), 26(7), 37(6), 38(4) and 39(3) thereof,

    Whereas:

    (1)The mechanism for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions as laid down in Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council 2  lays down a basic framework for monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions under the climate policy. The provisions of that mechanism are fully integrated in Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, which repeals Regulation (EU) 525/2013 from 1 January 2021. Within that mechanism, it is necessary to adopt  rules on reporting on national adaptation actions, the use of auctioning revenues, financial and technology support provided to developing countries, approximated greenhouse gas inventories, greenhouse gas inventories and accounted greenhouse gas emissions and removals, rules on national inventory systems, comprehensive review, reporting on policies and measures and projections.  

    (2)Member States’ reporting on national greenhouse gas inventory is substantively linked to national inventory systems, which are the institutional, legal and procedural arrangements for estimating greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the comprehensive review process verifies the quality of the national inventory data submitted. It is therefore appropriate to include the rules on national inventory systems, comprehensive review and Member States reporting obligations under Chapter 4 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 in one Implementing Regulation.

    (3)In Decision 18/CMA.1, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) serving as the meeting of the Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change following the 21st Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (the ‘Paris Agreement’) adopted the modalities, procedures and guidelines for the transparency framework for action and support, which lay down, inter alia, the reporting on greenhouse gas inventories, policies and measures, projections, impacts and adaptation and support provided to developing countries. The EU and its Member States are to report information in accordance with these modalities, procedures and guidelines by 31 December 2024.

    (4)Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, Member States are required to submit biennial reports to the Commission with information on their national climate change adaptation planning and strategies. This requirement was previously established in Regulation (EU) No 525/2013. To provide for the relevant information on national climate change adaptation planning and strategies of the Member States, the implementation of Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on adaptation reporting is in line with the reporting arrangements agreed upon under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 3 and the Paris Agreement 4 , adopted on 12 December 2015 under the UNFCCC (‘the Paris Agreement’). Improved information from Member States should be thus ensured in order to monitor progress and action in adapting to climate change, to inform and support the implementation and reviews of the Union adaptation strategy, to facilitate the assessment of the EU’s progress towards the adaptation goal of the Paris Agreement, to enable Member States and the European Union to exchange best practices and to evaluate their needs and level of preparedness to deal with climate change.

    (5)In view of past experience with reporting on the use of auctioning revenues, it is necessary that Member States, who report on the use of the equivalent in financial values of their auctioning revenues, report values, which are representative for their overall spending in accordance with Article 3d and 10 of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 5 .

    (6)In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Article 6 and the reporting to the Creditor Reporting System (CRS), introduced by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the reporting formats should be treated as being equal for the purposes of Article 19(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. The information reported to the Commission under Article 6 should be as detailed as possible. The reported information should be provided at the level of programmes or activities.

    (7)Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 integrates reporting requirements under Regulation (EU) 2018/841 of the European Parliament and of the Council 6  and Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council 7  within the annual greenhouse gas inventory reporting and adjusts to their five-year compliance check cycle by setting up a comprehensive review process in 2027 and 2032. It is therefore necessary to specify the structure, format and process of reporting on the intended use of flexibilities and concluded emission transfers and the use of resulting revenues under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 and to integrate the requirements under Regulation (EU) 2018/841 into the reporting on projections.    

    (8)Preparing their greenhouse gas inventory reports, the Member States should apply the values of global warming potentials of greenhouse gases set out in the Commission Delegated Regulation [XXXX/XXX], which are in line with the common metrics based on the IPCC 5th Assessment Report as established by the 1st meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement.

    (9)To ensure the timely and effective implementation of the obligations set by the Conference of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to lay down timescales for cooperation and coordination between the Commission and the Member States in preparing the Union greenhouse gas inventory report and the UNFCCC review. It is also necessary to determine the procedure and schedule for the conduct of the comprehensive review of Member States' greenhouse gas inventories to ensure its timely and effective implementation.

    (10)Member States should design and operate national inventory systems to ensure and enhance the quality of the inventory through planning, preparation and management of inventory activities, which include collecting activity data, selecting methods and emission factors appropriately, estimating anthropogenic GHG emissions by sources and removals by sinks, implementing uncertainty assessment and quality assurance/quality control activities, and carrying out procedures for the verification of the inventory data at the national level. In order to maintain the high quality of the national inventory systems from the past period, Member States need to continue applying the standards of inventory planning, preparation and management.

    (11)Rules on systems for policies and measures and projections should be consistent with relevant decisions adopted by the bodies of the UNFCCC or of the Paris Agreement. Since Decision 18/CMA.1 of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement requests information necessary to track progress with the Nationally Determined Contributions under Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, the Member States should submit the relevant information.

    (12)Reporting on air pollutants pursuant to Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the Parliament and of the Council 8 and on greenhouse gases follow to a large extent similar approaches, including the methodologies used by Member States. Therefore, when reporting on policies and measures and projections and their systems in accordance with Chapter VI of this Regulation, a consistent methodological approach is supported by taking into account the policies and measure and projections reported under Directive (EU) 2016/2284.

    (13)The e-platform referred to in Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, which is operational from 1 January 2020, is to be used for reporting on all dimensions of the Energy Union by Member States and the Commission, assisted by the European Environment Agency pursuant to Article 42 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. The Commission should ensure that the information submitted therein is directed or channelled through the single entry point of the Commission and exchanged accordingly with the relevant linked reporting systems such as Reportnet of the European Environment Agency.

    (14)In order to ensure consistency with the date of application of Articles 19(5), 26(7), 37(6), 38(3) and 39(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2021.    

    (15)In accordance with Articles 57 and 58 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 is repealed with the effect from 1 January 2021, with the exception of Article 7, points (a) and (d) of Article 17(1) and Article 19 of that Regulation, which are to apply to the reports containing data for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014 should therefore be repealed from 1 January 2021, however it should continue to apply to the reports containing data for those years. 

    (16)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,

    (1)An average annual exchange rate for the year X-1 or the real exchange rate applied to the amount disbursed shall be used for the currency conversion.

    (2)Member States shall provide the definitions used for ‘commitment’ and ‘disbursement’ as part of their report. If part of the reported amount is committed and another part disbursed related to a specific programme/project, two separate rows should be used. If Member States are not able to distinguish between committed and disbursed amounts, the most appropriate category should be selected for the reported amounts. Consistent definitions should be used across the Tables.
    Generally, ‘committed’ auction revenues are those which have been legally committed to be used for climate and energy purposes, but in some cases may not have yet been spent at the time of reporting. ‘Disbursed’ auction revenues are those which have been spent at the time of reporting. However, in some cases, ‘Commitment’ can refer to revenues that are only preliminarily planned to be used and ‘disbursement’ are those which have been transferred to a specific State Agency for a specific purpose or to a regional government.

    (3)Categories of uses mentioned in Article 10(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC as follows:

    — funding of research and development and demonstration projects for reducing emissions and for adaptation;

    — funding of initiatives within the framework of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan and the European Technology Platforms;

    — development of renewable energies to meet the commitment of the Union;

    — development of other technologies contributing to the transition to a safe and sustainable low-carbon economy;

    — development of technologies that help meet the commitment of the Union to increase energy efficiency;

    — forestry sequestration in the Union;

    — environmentally safe capture and geological storage of CO2;

    — encouragement of a shift to low-emission and public forms of transport;

    — financing of research and development in energy efficiency and clean technologies;

    — measures intended to increase energy efficiency and insulation or to provide financial support in order to address social aspects in lower and middle income house-holds;

    — coverage of administrative expenses of the management of the EU ETS;

    — promotion of skill formation and reallocation of labour in order to contribute to a just transition to a low carbon economy;

    — other reduction of greenhouse gas emissions;

    — adaptation to the impacts of climate change;

    — other domestic uses.

    Categories mentioned in Article 3d(4) of Directive 2003/87/EC, but not specifically mentioned in Article 10(3) as follows:

    — funding of common projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector;

    — measures to avoid deforestation.

    Member States shall avoid double counting of amounts in this Table. If a specific use fits to several types of uses, several types can be selected; however, the amount indicated is not to be multiplied but additional rows for types of uses are to be linked with one entry field for that amount.

    (4)Several categories can be selected if several financial instruments are relevant for the reported programme or project.

    (1) An average annual exchange rate for the year X-1 or the real exchange rate applied to the amount disbursed shall be used for the currency conversion.

    (2) Member States shall provide the definitions used for ‘commitment’ and ‘disbursement’ as part of their report. If part of the reported amount is committed and another part disbursed related to a specific programme/project, two separate rows should be used. If Member States are not able to distinguish between committed and disbursed amounts, the appropriate category should be selected for the reported amounts. Consistent definitions should be used across the Tables.

    (3) Member States shall avoid double counting of amounts in this Table.

    If other definitions than those indicated in the Table in the third column are used for the purpose of determining support committed and provided, and planned provision of support, a description or explanation of the relevant method, definition or methodology shall be provided in the middle column. If no alternative definition or methodology is reported, it will be assumed that the method, definition or methodologies listed in the Table in the third column has been used.

    Climate finance

    Climate finance aims at reducing emissions, and enhancing sinks, of GHG and aims at reducing vulnerability, and maintaining and increasing the resilience, of human and ecological systems to negative climate change impacts.

    /

    Developing Country

    A country is considered a “developing country” if the country is contained in the OECD-DAC List of ODA eligible recipients.

    Core/general

    Core/general contributions refer to core contributions to the core budget of multilateral institutions that Parties cannot specify as climate specific. If core/general contributions are reported, core/general and climate specific data shall be mutually exclusive.

    Climate-specific

    Climate-specific contributions concern contributions to multilateral climate funds and dedicated programmes managed by multilateral institutions. Core/general and climate-specific data shall be mutually exclusive: funds shall only be reported in one of the categories.

    Financial instruments

    Financial instruments refer to the type of vehicles and mechanisms used for financial support to developing countries. Considered categorisation of financial instruments is: “Grant”, “Concessional loan”, “Non-concessional loan”, “Equity”, “Guarantee”, “Insurance”, “Policy intervention”, and “Other”.

    Funding source

    Funding source refers to the source and origin of official financial flows for development aid. Considered categorisation of funding sources is: “Official Development Aid (ODA)”, “Other Official Flows (OOF)”, and “Other”.

    Status (committed and provided)

    In the context of the Governance Regulation, the term “provided” equals “disbursed”. Member States are requested to report committed funds for bilateral climate finance flows and disbursed (“provided”) funds for multilateral climate finance flows.

    Support mobilised

    /

    Sector, sub-sector

    In the context of the Governance Regulation, the OECD DAC definitions are the basis for filling in information in this field. The OECD DAC purpose codes are available at:

    https://www.oecd.org/dac/stats/purposecodessectorclassification.htm

    Type of support (climate mitigation/ climate adaptation/ cross-cutting)

    To present a transparent picture, these categories shall be mutually exclusive if possible. Climate mitigation and climate adaptation support are defined in Governance Regulation in line with the OECD DAC definitions. Crosscutting activities are those that involve both climate mitigation and climate adaptation components.

    Public finance/private finance

    Public finance are transactions undertaken by central, state or local government agencies at their own risk and responsibility, regardless of whether these agencies have raised the funds through taxation or through borrowing from the private sector. This includes transactions by public corporations i.e. corporations over which the government secures control by owning more than half of the voting equity securities or otherwise controlling more than half of the equity holders’ voting power; or through special legislation empowering the government to determine corporate policy or to appoint directors.

    Private finance are transactions undertaken by firms and individual residents in the reporting country from their own private funds.

    /

    Application of Rio Markers (coefficients)

    In order to ensure consistency and comparability of reports, Member States shall apply the Commission’s following methodology:

    ·If an activity is market as ‘principal’ for mitigation or adaptation, 100% of the support is considered and reported as climate finance;

    ·If an activity is marked as ‘significant’ for mitigation or adaptation, then only 40% of the support is considered and reported as climate finance;

    ·To avoid double counting, any activity can only count as 100%, 40% or 0%. If an activity is marked for both mitigation and adaptation, only the highest marking will count when calculating the total climate relevant financial contribution of the activity.

    If a Member State applies the Rio Markers differently, the alternative methodology shall be described and explained, including how it differs from the methodology described above.

    If a Member States applies a different methodology than the Rio Markers, a detailed description of the methodology shall be provided, including an explanation of how funds have been defined as climate specific and how funding is allocated to mitigation and adaptation.

    The category ‘cross cutting’ shall only be used for activities for which Member States cannot assign a contribution to adaptation and mitigation.

    Notes:

    (1)This Table shall only be reported if applicable. 

    (2)An average annual exchange rate for the year X-1 or the real exchange rate applied to the amount disbursed shall be used for the currency conversion.

    (3)Member States shall provide the definitions used for ‘commitment’ and ‘disbursement’ as part of their report. If part of the reported amount is committed and another part disbursed related to a specific programme/project, two separate rows should be used. If Member States are not able to distinguish between committed and disbursed amounts, the most appropriate category should be selected for the reported amounts. Consistent definitions should be used across the Tables.
    Generally, ‘committed’ AEA transfer revenues are those which have been legally committed to be used for climate and energy purposes, but in some cases may not have yet been spent at the time of reporting. ‘Disbursed’ AEA transfer revenues are those which have been spent at the time of reporting. However, in some cases, ‘Commitment’ can refer to revenues that are only preliminarily planned to be used and ‘disbursement’ are those which have been transferred to a specific State Agency for a specific purpose or to a regional government.

    (4)Types of use to be selected:

    — funding of research and development and demonstration projects for reducing emissions and for adaptation;

    — funding of initiatives within the framework of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan and the European Technology Platforms;

    — development of renewable energies to meet the commitment of the Union to using 32 % renewable energies by 2030;

    — development of other technologies contributing to the transition to a safe and sustainable low-carbon economy;

    — development of technologies that help meet the commitment of the Union to increase energy efficiency by 32.5% by 2030; — forestry sequestration in the Union;

    — environmentally safe capture and geological storage of CO2;

    — encouragement of a shift to low-emission and public forms of transport;

    — finance research and development in energy efficiency and clean technologies;

    — measures intended to increase energy efficiency and insulation or to provide financial support in order to address social aspects in lower and middle income households;

    — coverage of administrative expenses of the management of the ETS scheme;

    — other reduction of greenhouse gas emissions;

    — adaptation to the impacts of climate change;

    — other domestic uses.

    Member States shall avoid double counting of amounts in this Table. If a specific use fits to several types of uses, several types can be selected; however, the amount indicated is not to be multiplied but additional rows for types of uses are to be linked with one entry field for that amount.

    (5)Several categories may be selected if several financial instruments are relevant for the reported programme or project.

If a specific use fits into several rows, the most appropriate one is to be chosen and the respective amount must be only entered once. Accompanying textual information could further explain such allocation decisions, if necessary.

    (2) This Table shall only be reported if applicable.

    (3) An average annual exchange rate for the year X-1 or the real exchange rate applied to the amount disbursed is to be used for the currency conversion.

    (4) Member States shall provide the definitions used for ‘commitment’ and ‘disbursement’ as part of their report.

If Member States are not able to distinguish between committed and disbursed amounts, the appropriate category should be selected for the reported amounts.

    (4) Only financial support provided which is climate-specific as e.g. indicated by OECD DAC indicators should be entered in this Table.

    (5) Several applicable sectors can be selected. Member States may report sectoral distribution if such information is available. ‘Information not available’ can only be selected if there is absolutely no information available for the respective row.

    (6) The appropriate financial instrument shall be chosen. Several categories can be selected if several financial instruments are relevant for the respective row. ‘Information not available’ should only be selected if there is absolutely no information available for the respective row.

    The notation key ‘information not available’ may be used if there is absolutely no information available for the respective cells.

    (7) An average annual exchange rate for the year X-1 or the real exchange rate applied to the amount disbursed shall be used for the currency conversion.

    (2) Cumulative net emissions and removals for all years of the compliance period reported in the current submission.

    (3) The accounting quantity is the sum of total emissions and total removals on its territory in all of the land accounting categories referred to in Article 2 combined, as accounted in accordance with Regulation 2018/841.

    (4) A Party that has indicated their intent to apply the natural disturbance provisions may choose to exclude emissions from natural disturbances either annually or at the end of the commitment period.

    (5) Any subsequent removals on lands from which emissions from natural disturbances have been excluded is subtracted from the accounting quantity of the respective activity.

    (6) Forest reference level as submitted by the Member States, in kt CO2 eq per year.

    (7) Technical corrections in accordance with Article 8(11) of Regulation 2018/841 and reported in kt CO2 eq per year.

    (8) In accordance with Article 8(2) no more than the equivalent of 3,5 % of the emissions of the Member State in its base year or period as specified in Annex III of Regulation 2018/841.

    (9) Please note that these emissions are not included in the emissions of the pertinent accounted category (i.e. afforested land and managed forest land). Estimates for HWP are provided separately in accordance with Regulation 2018/841 Annex IV A.(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.

    (10) Emissions to be denoted as positive values (+), removals as negative values (-).

    (1) Reporting in this Table is required by Parties which apply the provision to exclude emissions from natural disturbances in accordance with paragraphs 33 and 34 in the annex to decision 2/CMP.7 and have indicated their intent to apply the referred provision in their report to facilitate the calculation of the assigned amount in accordance with paragraph 1(k) in Annex I to decision 2/CMP.8.

    (2) Geographic location refers to the boundaries of the areas that encompass the lands subject to natural disturbances under afforestation and reforestation.

    (3) Year when the natural disturbance took place.

    (4) The Party should report here emissions from natural disturbances. The values reported here should be consistent with, although not necessarily equal to, information provided in Tables 4(KP-I)A.1 and 4(KP-II)4. Regardless of the method used to estimate carbon stock changes, the Party needs to provide information in the NIR on how CO2 emissions from natural disturbances were singled out, if necessary.

    (5) Emissions from salvage logging in the inventory year (information on how emissions from salvage logging have been estimated should be provided in the NIR).

    (6) Emissions reported here shall not include salvage logging emissions.

    (7) Information on the calculation of the background level and the margin should be provided in the NIR, including any recalculations made to the background level and the margin to maintain methodological consistency with the reported emissions.

    (8) If emissions from natural disturbances exceed the background level plus the margin, if a margin is needed, this cell should report "yes".

    (9) Emissions that can be excluded from the accounting in the inventory year equal "emissions from natural disturbances" minus the "background level".

    (10) Parties should document in the document box below, and in the NIR, how the subsequent removals to be excluded from accounting are calculated. Parties should also document that the methodology used is consistent with that used for the background level and margin, if applied. Parties should indicate in the documentation box where this information can be found in the NIR.

    (11) Disturbances should be listed by year and type of disturbance (in this order, totals by year of natural disturbances to be included). Multiple natural disturbances events of the same type, such as fires due to a severe drought period, can be grouped provided that all relevant information is provided in the NIR or annexes to the NIR. Also in the case that an area is subject to multiple types of disturbances, additional information on how double-counting of emissions and removals is avoided should be provided in the NIR. Also in the case that the area is subject to disturbances in multiple years, additional information on how double counting of emissions and removals from these areas is avoided should be provided in the NIR.

    (12) Parties should report emissions from natural disturbances that occurred in the inventory year. Parties could also report delayed emissions from natural disturbances that have occurred in previous years, if consistent with the methodology used in the calculation of the background level.

    Notation: t signifies the first future year ending with 0 or 5 immediately following the reporting year

    (1)Consistency with the data reported under Article 9 of this Regulation is encouraged.

    (2)Use of notation keys: as regards the terms of use defined in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (chapter 8: reporting guidance and Tables), the notation keys of IE (included elsewhere), NO (not occurring), C (confidential) and NA (not applicable) may be used, as appropriate when projections do not yield data on a specific reporting level (see 2006 IPCC Guidelines).     
    The use of the notation key NE (Not Estimated) shall be restricted to the situation where a disproportionate amount of effort would be required to collect data for a category or a gas from a specific category that would be insignificant in terms of the overall level and trend in national emissions. In these circumstances a Member State shall list all categories and gases from categories excluded on these grounds, together with a justification for exclusion in terms of the likely level of emissions or removals and identify the category as ‘not estimated’ using the notation key ‘NE’ in the reporting Tables.

    (3)ODS - ozone-depleting substances.

    (4)For the purposes of reporting, the signs for removals shall always be negative (-) and the signs for emissions shall be positive (+). If the information requested in Table 1b is provided in full, this section does not need to be reported

    (5)It shall be reported to which inventory submission (year, version) the base year was calibrated.

    (6)A reporting up to t-10 on yearly basis is optional.

    (7)Emissions in the scope of Directive 2003/87/EC.

    (8)Emissions in the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842.
