or bank it for their own use until 2020. Member States fulfilling additional criteria (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, 
Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) may use credits from projects in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) up to an additional 1 % of their

Table 2 shows progress towards the EU’s 2020 targets as defined under the EU Climate and 
Energy Package and under the Kyoto Protocol. The differences between the two approaches 
are  described  in  table  1.  Notably,  emissions  from  international  aviation  are  included  in  the 
Climate and Energy Package, but excluded under the Kyoto Protocol. The geographical scope 
of  the  commitment  under  the  Kyoto  protocol  includes  Iceland  and  certain  regions  not 
included in the Climate and Energy Package.  

Under  the  Kyoto  Protocol,  base  year  emissions  differs  from  1990  because  some  Member 
States have used a different base year. Moreover, for NF3 emissions, 1995 or 2000 may have 
been  used as base year.  

Under the Kyoto Protocol, Member States also need to account for emissions and removals 
from certain categories of land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) by applying the 
accounting  rules  of  the  Kyoto  Protocol.  Table  2  does  not  include  emissions  and  removals 
from LULUCF. For the EU as a whole, the LULUCF sector has been a net accounted sink in 
2013-2018, thereby contributing to achieving the commitment.

8. EMISSIONS COVERED BY THE EFFORT SHARING LEGISLATION 

In  2019  and  2020,  Member  States  have  submitted  projections  in  the  context  of  the  NECPs 
and  of  the  Monitoring  Mechanism  Regulation  (EU)  No.  525/2013  (MMR)  Effort  Sharing 
legislation. The aggregated “with existing measures” projections for effort sharing sectors are 
based  on  the  GHG  projection  submissions  under  the  MMR  Monitoring  Mechanism 
Regulation (EU) No. 525/2013 or the NECPs, whichever is more recent.  

13  Member  States  reported  updated  GHG  projections  in  2020  (AT,  BE,  CY,  DK,  EE,  EL, 
HU, IE, LV, LT, LU, PL and SI). The aggregated planned measures are based on the 2030 
greenhouse  gas  projections  “with  additional  measures”  for  effort  sharing  sectors  that  were 
included  in  the  NECPs.  If  Member  States  provided  projections  in  March  2020  under  the 
MMR calibrated to more recent inventory data, these were used.  

For  the  few  Member  States  for  which  projections  of  planned  measures  for  effort  sharing 
sectors are not available (DK, NL, PT, RO, SE, SK), the following gap-fillers were applied: 
ESR  targets  for  DK,  NL  and  RO,  as  the  targets  set  in  the  NECPs  imply  fulfilling  the  ESR 
targets  domestically,  national  domestic  ESR  targets  (SK),  with  additional  measures 
projections submitted under the MMR in 2019 (PT).  

For  SE  with  existing  measures  projections  submitted  in  March  2019  are  presented;  certain 
measures have been implemented or planned to achieve the domestic target for ESR sectors 
of at least -50% reductions since then which will only be reflected in updated projections in 
March 2021.  

For  Bulgaria  it  is  noted  that  the  WEM  projection  has  lower  emissions  than  the  WAM 
projection. One reason is that they stem from different modelling exercises, WEM from the 
2019 MMR submission and WAM from the final NECP.  

The  2005  base  year  values  as  used  under  the  Effort  Sharing  Decision  and  published  in  the 
accompanying  Staff  Working  Document  e.g.  in  SWD(2018)453  have  been  used  unless 
Member  State  updates  thereof  based  on  more  recent  inventories  are  available  from  the 
NECPs.

13 AEAs for the years 2017-2020 have been recalculated for all Member States to reflect updates in methodologies for 
reporting of GHG inventories. This recalculation ensures maintaining of the originally intended effort of each Member State 
(in % of 2005 emissions).

14 Values for 2013-2015 are based on the study “Analysis of the use of Auction Revenues by the Member 
States” by Rambøll for the European Commission (2017). Values for 2016-2019 are presented as reported by 
the Member States.  

15 For 2017 - 2019, Austria has not reported amounts spent on climate and energy purposes. Austria has 
reported that the total spending on such purposes was larger than the auction revenues in these years.  
16 By Croatian law, 100% of the auctioning revenues are spent on climate and energy. This table lists the 
amount spent during the same year as the revenue was earnt, the remainder is carried over to the next years
