THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change and repealing Decision No 280/2004/EC^note, and in particular Article 19(6) thereof,Whereas:

(1)Decision No 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council^note lays down greenhouse gas emissions limits (annual emission allocations) for each Member State for each year of the period 2013 to 2020 and a mechanism to annually assess compliance with those limits. Member States' annual emissions allocations expressed in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent are contained in Commission Decision 2013/162/EU^note. Those amounts were adjusted by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/634/EU^note.

(2)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 purposes of assessing compliance with Decision No 406/2009/EC. The review of the GHG inventories for the year 2013 was delayed by 1 year given the technical impossibility for Member States to report their 2013 emissions data in time due to the malfunctioning of the software provided by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that is used for the compilation and reporting of GHG inventories. The review was therefore made on the basis of the 2013 emissions data reported to the Commission in April 2016 in accordance with the procedures laid down in Chapter III and Annex XVI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014^note.

(3)The total amount of GHG emissions for the year 2013 covered by Decision No 406/2009/EC for each Member State should take into consideration the technical corrections and revised estimates calculated during the review as contained in the final review reports pursuant to Article 35 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 749/2014.

(4)This Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication in order to be aligned with the provisions of Article 19(7) of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 which sets the date of publication of this Decision as the starting point for the 4-month period when Member States are allowed to use the flexibility mechanisms under Decision No 406/2009/EC,
