(20)In addition to the EU ETS flexibility, it is possible for a limited quantity of net removals and net emissions from LULUCF to be taken into account for Member States’ compliance under Regulation (EU) 2018/842 (the ‘LULUCF flexibility’). In order to ensure that sufficient mitigation efforts are deployed up to 2030, it is appropriate to limit the use of the LULUCF flexibility by separating the use of the LULUCF flexibility into two separate time periods, each capped by a limit corresponding to half of the maximum amount of total net removals set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2018/842. It is also appropriate to bring the title of that Annex into line with Regulation (EU) 2018/841 following its amendment by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/268note. As a consequence, there is no longer a need for Regulation (EU) 2018/842 to empower the Commission to adopt delegated acts to amend the title of its Annex III. Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/842 should therefore be deleted.
