Each Member State shall ensure that its greenhouse gas emissions in each year from 2031 do not exceed the level defined by a linear trajectory, starting from its annual emission allocations from 2031 and ending in 2050 on a level of emissions that is 95% below 2005 levels for that Member State for the sectors covered by this Regulation, and achieving net-zero emissions in the second half of the century.
Vsaka država članica zagotovi, da njene emisije toplogrednih plinov v nobenem letu od leta 2031 ne presežejo ravni, določene s krivuljo linearnega zmanjšanja, ki se začne na osnovi dodeljenih letnih emisij v obdobju 2031–2050 na ravni emisij, ki je 95 % pod ravnjo za to državo članico v letu 2005 v sektorjih, zajetih v to uredbo, in da se v drugi polovici stoletja doseže ničelna stopnja neto emisij.
