Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1319 of 28 June 2023 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 to revise Member States’ annual emission allocations for the period from 2023 to 2030 (Text with EEA relevance)

29.6.2023 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 163/9 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/1319 of 28 June 2023 amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 to revise Member States’ annual emission allocations for the period from 2023 to 2030 (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement and amending Regulation (EU) No 525/2013(1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof, Whereas: (1) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126(2)sets out Member States’ annual emission allocations (AEAs) for the period from 2021 to 2030 in accordance with Article 4(1), (2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 and the adjustments provided for in Article 10 thereof. (2) Regulation (EU) 2023/857 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3)amended, among others, Article 4(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842, and established the method for calculating the annual limits of greenhouse gas emissions that each Member State is required to respect in the years 2023 to 2030. (3) It is therefore necessary to revise the AEAs set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126. (4) The revision of the AEAs should be limited to those that were allocated for the years 2023 to 2030, since Regulation (EU) 2023/857 did not amend the limits of greenhouse gas emissions applicable to the years 2021 and 2022. However, in the interest of clarity, Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 should be replaced in its entirety. (5) The AEAs for each Member State for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 are to be established on the basis of a linear trajectory starting in 2022 at the AEA for a given Member State and ending in 2030 at the limit set for the given Member State as set out in the table, column 2, of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2018/842. (6) The AEAs for each Member State for the years 2026 to 2030 are to be established on the basis of a linear trajectory starting on the average of the greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, 2022 and 2023 of that Member State. Such average will be determined after a comprehensive review of the inventory data submitted by Member States for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. That comprehensive review will be conducted in 2025 by the Commission, with the assistance of the European Environment Agency. Until such comprehensive review is carried out, the AEAs for the years 2026 to 2030 will remain undetermined. (1) OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 26. (2) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 of 16 December 2020 on setting out the annual emission allocations of the Member States for the period from 2021 to 2030 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 426, 17.12.2020, p. 58). (3) Regulation (EU) 2023/857 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 April 2023 amending Regulation (EU) 2018/842 on binding annual greenhouse gas emission reductions by Member States from 2021 to 2030 contributing to climate action to meet commitments under the Paris Agreement, and Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 (OJ L 111, 26.4.2023, p. 1).L 163/10 EN Official Journal of the European Union 29.6.2023 (7) The resulting values of the annual emission allocations for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 are to be adjusted, pursuant to Article 10(1), point (c), of Regulation (EU) 2018/842. Greenhouse gas emissions from stationary installations excluded from the EU emissions trading system in accordance with Article 27 of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4), as notified by Member States to the Commission under that Article, to the extent they are excluded from the Union emission cap under that Directive for 2021 onwards, fall within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/842. Therefore, the quantities deducted from the cap are added to the annual emission allocations of the relevant Member States for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025. (8) Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 should therefore be amended accordingly. (9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2126 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision. Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Done at Brussels, 28 June 2023. For the Commission The President Ursula VON DER LEYEN (4) Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32).29.6.2023 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 163/11 ANNEX ‘ANNEX II Annual emission allocations for each Member State for each year from 2021 to 2030 pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842, adjusted in accordance with Article 10 of that Regulation Adjusted value of the annual emission allocation in tonnes of CO equivalent 2 Member State 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Belgium 71 141 629 69 130 741 65 895 769 62 660 796 59 425 824 - - - - - Bulgaria 27 116 956 25 159 860 24 526 596 23 893 332 23 260 068 - - - - - Czechia 65 984 531 60 913 974 59 309 017 57 704 060 56 099 103 - - - - - Denmark 32 127 535 31 293 868 29 905 140 28 516 412 27 127 684 - - - - - Germany 427 306 142 413 224 443 391 872 325 370 518 122 349 163 918 - - - - - Estonia 6 223 937 6 001 620 5 840 050 5 678 481 5 516 911 - - - - - Ireland 43 479 402 42 357 392 40 520 068 38 682 744 36 845 421 - - - - - Greece 46 227 407 46 969 645 47 184 382 47 399 120 47 613 857 - - - - - Spain 200 997 922 198 671 005 192 805 142 186 904 935 181 004 728 - - - - - France 335 726 735 326 506 522 312 021 691 297 535 364 283 049 038 - - - - - Croatia 17 661 355 16 544 497 16 357 415 16 170 092 15 982 770 - - - - - Italy 273 503 734 268 765 611 259 438 502 250 077 347 240 716 193 - - - - - Cyprus 4 072 960 3 980 718 3 845 808 3 710 898 3 575 989 - - - - - Latvia 10 649 507 8 854 834 8 640 002 8 425 170 8 210 339 - - - - - Lithuania 16 112 304 13 717 534 13 292 727 12 867 920 12 443 113 - - - - - Luxembourg 8 406 740 8 147 070 7 760 948 7 374 826 6 988 704 - - - - - Hungary 49 906 277 43 342 400 42 785 010 42 227 619 41 670 229 - - - - - Malta 2 065 044 1 239 449 1 187 854 1 136 258 1 084 663 - - - - - Netherlands 98 513 233 96 677 516 92 920 117 89 162 718 85 405 318 - - - - - Austria 48 768 448 47 402 495 45 181 662 42 960 829 40 739 996 - - - - - Poland 215 005 372 204 376 828 198 630 308 192 883 787 187 137 267 - - - - - Portugal 42 526 461 40 821 093 40 059 679 39 296 448 38 533 217 - - - - - Romania 87 878 093 76 914 871 75 837 989 74 761 106 73 684 224 - - - - - Slovenia 11 403 194 11 107 762 10 813 744 10 515 484 10 217 224 - - - - - Slovakia 23 410 477 21 151 422 20 743 118 20 334 813 19 926 509 - - - - - Finland 28 840 335 27 970 110 26 626 337 25 282 565 23 938 792 - - - - - Sweden 31 331 358 30 731 996 29 592 278 28 452 560 27 312 842 - - - - -’
