text: EUROPEISKA GEMENSKAPERNAS KOMMISSION Bryssel den 23. 02. 1998 KOM(1998) 96 slutlig Förslag till RÅDETSBESMJT om Europeiska gemenskapernas undertecknande av ett protokoll till Förenta nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar (framlagt av kommissionen) MQtivering Den 4 februari 1991 bemyndigade rådet kommissionen att på gemenskapens vägnar delta i förhandlingarna om en konvention om klimatförändringar och alla därtill relaterade protokoll. Förenta nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar undertecknades av gemenskapen och samtliga dess medlemsstater i juni 1992 och ratificerades av gemenskapen genom beslutet av den 15 december 1993. Det första mötet för parternas konferens ägde rum i Berlin från den 28 mars till den 7 april 1995. Vid mötet kom parterna överens om att inleda en process som skulle möjliggöra att lämpliga åtgärder kunde vidtas för tiden efter år 2000, bl. a. att skärpa parternas åtaganden enligt bilaga 1 till konventionen om klimatförändringar genom ett antagande av ett protokoll eller annat rättsligt instrument. En icke tidsbegränsad ad hoc-grupp av parter inrättades för att rapportera till det andra mötet för parternas konferens om hur processen framskred. Denna ad hoc-grupp för det s. k. "Berlin-mandatet" sammanträdde vid åtta tillfällen. Förhandlingar i frågor inom gemenskapens behörighet fördes i enlighet med de fbrhandlingsdirektiv som fastställdes av rådet den 4 februari 19913 och rådets slutsatser om klimatförändringar, av vilka de senaste antogs av rådet (miljö) den 3 mars, 19 juni respektive 16 oktober 1997. Vid parternas konferens, som hölls i Kyoto i Japan från den 1 till den 10 december, antogs ett protokoll. Även om det slutligen antagna protokollet är mindre ambitiöst än Europeiska unionens mål vid förhandlingarna är förhandlingsresultaten positiva för den globala miljön, samtidigt som de är i överensstämmelse med gemenskapslagstiflningen och rådets ovannämnda slutsatser. Gemenskapen bör vara drivande även när det gäller undertecknandet och det ligger därför i gemenskapens intresse att kunna underteckna det så snart som möjligt efter det att perioden för undertecknande inleds den 16 mars 1998 i New York. Det kommer sedan att vara möjligt att underteckna protokollet fram till den 15 mars 1999. När det gäller den fortsatta processen träder protokollet i kraft när det ratificerats, accepterats eller antagits av parterna till konventionen. Därefter kommer ett förslag till rådsbeslut om vilka slutsatser som bör dras att läggas fram av kommissionen. I offentliga ställningstaganden har andra nyckelaktörer gjort klart att globalt genomförande kräver fortsatta framsteg under det kommande året, inte minst när det gäller frågor som gemensamt genomförande, förutsättningarna för handel med utsläppsrätter och utvecklingsländernas roll. Kommissionen kommer vid behov att lägga fram förslag inom dessa områden. Rådet ombeds därför besluta att protokollet till konventionen om klimatförändringar skall undertecknas och bemyndiga rådets ordförande att utse de personer som på gemenskapens vägnar skall ha befogenhet att underteckna det. 1 DOC 4446/91 ENV 34 ENER 4 2 EGTL 33, 7. 2. 94, s. 11. 3 DOC 4446/91 ENV 34 ENER 4 Förslag till rådets beslut om Europeiska gemenskapernas undertecknandet av ett protokoll till Förenta nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar EUROPEISKA UNIONENS RÄD HAR BESLUTAT FÖLJANDE med beaktande av Fördraget om upprättandet av Europeiska gemenskapen, med beaktande av kommissionens förslag, och med beaktande av följande: Gemenskapen är part i Förenta nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringar. I enlighet med rådets förhandlingsdirektiv den 4 februari 1991 och i överensstämmelse med senare rådsbeslut om klimatförändringar, har kommissionen på gemenskapens vägnar deltagit i ad hoc-gruppen för Berlinmandatet som inrättades vid den första konferensen för parterna till konventionen den 7 april 1995 i syfte att vidta lämpliga åtgärder för tiden efter år 2000. Ett protokoll antogs vid parternas till Förenta nationernas ramkonvention om klimatförändringars konferens i Kyoto från den 1 till den 10 december 1997. Syftet med protokollet är att utsläppen av växthusgaser skall minskas, vilket kommer att bidra till att gemenskapens miljöpolitiska mål kan uppfyllas. Det är därför lämpligt för gemenskapen att underteckna protokollet HÄRIGENOM FÖRESKRIVS FÖLJANDE. ENDA ARTIKEL Rådets ordförande bemyndigas härmed att utse de personer som skall ha befogenhet att på gemenskapens vägnar underteckna det protokoll till konventionen om klimatförändringar som antogs den 10 december 1997 i Kyoto, Japan.

The Parties included in Annex I shall, individually or jointly, ensure that their aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions öf the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A do not exceed their assigned amounts, calculated pursuant to their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments inscribed in Annex B and in accordance with the provisions of this Article, with a view to reducing their overall emissions of such gases by at least 5 per cent below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012. Each Party included in Annex I shall, by 2005, have made demonstrable progress in 2. achieving its commitments under this Protocol. "^ J The net changes in greenhouse gas emissions from sources and remo^a&byjäinks 3. resulting from direct human-induced land use change^indjforestry activitie0JnittCTto~ afforestation, reforestation, and deforestation since 1990, measured as verinable changes in stocks in each cornmitmenf period shall be used to meet the commitments in this Article of each Party included in Annex I. The greenhouse gas emissions from sources and removals by sinks associated with those activities shall be reported in a transparent and verifiable manner and reviewed in accordance with Articles 7 and 8. 4. Prior to the first session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, each Party included in Annex I shall provide for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice data to establish its level of carbon stocks in 1990 and to enable an estimate to be made of its changes in carbon stocks in subsequent years. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session or as soon as practicable thereafter, decide upon modalities, rules and guidelines as to how and which additional human-induced activities related to changes in greenhouse gas emissions and removals in the agricultural soil and land use change and forestry categories, shall be added to, or subtracted from, the assigned amount for Parties included in Annex I, taking into account uncertainties, transparency in reporting, verifiability, the methodological work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice in accordance with Article 5 and the decisions of the Conference of the Parties. Such a decision shall apply in the second and subsequent commitment periods. A Party may choose to apply such a decision on these additional human-induced activities for its first commitment period, provided that these activities have taken place since 1990. The Parties included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market 5. economy whose base year or period was established pursuant to decision 9/CP. 2 of the Conference of the Parties at its second session, shall use that base year or period for the implementation of their commitments under this Article. Any other Party included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy which has not yet submitted its first national communication under Article 12 of the Convention may also notify the "\ FCCC/CP/1997/L. 7/Add. l English Page 5 Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol that it intends to use a historical base year or period other than 1990 for the implementation of its commitments under this Article. ITie Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to thisv Protocol shall decide on the acceptance of such notification. Taking into account Article 4, parägraph 6, of the Convention, in the implementation of 6. their commitments under this Protocol other than those in this Article, a certain degree of flexibility shall be allowed by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol to the Parties included in Annex I undergoing the process of transition to a market economy. In the first quantified emission limitation and reduction commitment period, from 7. 2008 to 2012, the assigned amount for each Party included in Annex I shall be equal to the percentage inscribed for it in Annex B of its aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A in 1990, or the base year or period determined in accordance with parägraph 5 above, multiplied by five. Those Parties included in Annex I for whom land use change and forestry constituted a net source of greenhouse gas emissions in 1990 shall include in their 1990 emissions base year or period the aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions minus removals in 1990 from land use change for the purposes of calculating their assigned amount Any Party included in Annex I may use 1995 as its base year for hydrofluorocarbons, 8. perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride, for the purposes of the calculation referred to in parägraph 7 above. Commitments for subsequent periods for Parties included in Annex I shall be established 9. in amendments to Annex B to this Protocol, which shall be adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 20, parägraph 7. The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall initiate the consideration of such commitments at ieast seven years before the end of the first commitment period mentioned in parägraph 7 above. 10. - Any emission reduction units, or any part of an assigned amount, which a Party acquires from another Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and of Article 16 bis shall be added to the assigned amount for that Party. Any emission reduction units, or any part of an assigned amount, which a Party transfers 11. to another Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and of Article 16 bis shall be subtracted from the assigned amount for that Party. Any certified emission reductions which a Party acquires from another Party in 12. accordance with the provisions of Article 12 shall be added to the assigned amount for that Party. FCCC/CP/1997/L. 7/Add. l English Page 6 13. If the emissions of ja Party included in Annex I during a commitment period are less than its assigned amount under this Article, this difference shall, on request of that Party, be added to the assigned amount for that Party for subsequent commitment periods. Each Party included in Annex I shall strive to implement the commitments mentioned in 14. paragraph 1 above in such a way as to minimize adverse social, environmental and econpmic impacts on developing country Parties, particularly those identified in Article 4, paragraphs 8 and 9, of the Convention. In line with relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties on the implementation of those paragraphs, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall, at its first session, consider what actions are necessary to minimize the adverse effects of climate change and/or the impacts oijesponse measures on Parties referred to in those paragraphs. Among the issues to be considered shall be the establishment of funding, insurance and transfer of technology. Article 4 Any Parties included in Annex I that have agreed to jointly fulfil their commitments 1. under Article 3 shall be deemed to have met those commitments provided that their total combined aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A do not exceed their assigned amounts calculated pursuant to their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitments inscribed in Annex B and in accordance with the provisions of Article 3. The respective emission level allocated to each of the Parties to the agreement shall be set out in that agreement The Parties to any such agreement shall notify the secretariat of the terms of the 2. agreement on the date of deposit of their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession. The secretariat shall in turn inform the Parties and signatories to the Convention of the terms of the agreement. The agreement shall remain in operation for the duration of the commitment period 3. specified in Article 3, paragraph 7. 4. If Parties acting jointly do so in the framework of, and together with, a regional economic integration organization, any alteration in the composition of the organization after adoption of this Protocol shall not affect existing commitments under this Protocol. Any alteration in the composition of the organization shall only apply for the purposes of those commitments under Article 3 that are adopted subsequent to that revision. 5. In the event of failure by the Parties to such an agreement to achieve their total combined level of emission reductions, each Party to such an agreement shall be responsible for its own level of emissions set out in the agreement FCCC/CP/1997/L. 7/Add. l English Page 7 6. If Parties acting jointly do so ih the framework of, and together with, a regional economic integration organization which is itself a Party to this Protocol, each member State of that regional economic integration organization individually, and together with the regional economic integration organization acting in accordance with Article 23, shall, in the event of failure to achieve the total combined level of emission reductions, be responsible for its level of emissions as notified in accordance with this Article. Article 5 Each Party included in Annex I shall have in place, no later than one year prior to the 1. start-o£the first commitment period, a national system for the estimation of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol. Guidelines for such national systems, which shall incorporate the methodolotgies specified in paragraph 2 below, shall be decided upon by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol at its first session. Methodologies for estimating anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks 2. of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol shall be those accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties at its third session. Where such methodologies are not used, appropriate adjustments shall be applied according to methodologies agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol at its first session. Based on the work of, inter alia, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall regularly review and, as appropriate, revise such methodologies and adjustments, taking fully into account any relevant decisions by the Conference of the Parties. Any revision to methodologies or adjustments shall be used only for the purposes of ascertaining compliance with commitments under Article 3 in respect of any commitment period adopted subsequent to that revision. The global warming potentials used to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalence of 3. anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol listed in Annex A shall be those accepted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and agreed upon by the Conference of the Parties at its third session. Based on the work of, inter alia, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and advice provided by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall regularly review and, as appropriate, revise the global warming potential of each such greenhouse gas, taking fully into account any relevant decisions by the Conference of the Parties. Any revision to a global warming potential shall apply only to those commitments under Article 3 in respect of any commitment period adopted subsequent to that revision. /|o FCCC/CP/1997/L. 7/Add. l English Page 8 Article 6 1. For the purpose of meeting its commitments under Article 3, any Party included in Annex I may transfer to, or acquire from, any other such Party emission reduction units resulting from projects aimed at reducing anthropogenic emissions by sources or enhancing anthropogenic removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in any sector of the economy, provided that: (a) Any such project has the approval of the Parties involved; (b) Any such project provides a reduction in emissions by sources, or an enhancement of removals by sinks, that is additional to any that wouldotherwise occur; (c) It does not acquire any emission reduction units if it is not in compliance with its obligations under Articles 5 and 7; and (d) The acquisition of emission reduction units shall be supplemental to domestic actions for the purposes of meeting commitments under Article 3.
