Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2377 on greenhouse gas emissions for each Member State

The European Commission has adopted on 19th of December 2017, the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2377 of 15 December 2017 on greenhouse gas emissions covered by Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council for the year 2015 for each Member State. The Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council lays down the minimum contribution of Member States to meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction commitment of the Community for the period from 2013 to 2020 for greenhouse gas emissions covered by this Decision, and rules on making these contributions and for the evaluation thereof. This Decision also lays down provisions for assessing and implementing a stricter Community reduction commitment exceeding 20 %, to be applied upon the approval by the Community of an international agreement on climate change leading to emissions reductions exceeding those required pursuant to Article 3, as reflected in the 30 % reduction commitment as endorsed by the European Council of March 2007. The Annex to the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2377 contains the total sum of greenhouse gas emissions covered by Decision No 406/2009/EC for each Member State for the year 2015 arising from the corrected inventory data upon completion of the annual review referred to in Article 19(2) of Regulation 525/2013/EU. The Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 provides for a procedure for the review of Member States’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories for the purpose of assessing compliance with Decision No 406/2009/EC.
