Article 31 Technical corrections

A technical correction of an emission estimate within the meaning of Article 38(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 shall be deemed necessary if an underestimate or overestimate exceeds the threshold of significance established in paragraph 2 of this Article. Details of the technical corrections are specified in Annex XXII to this Regulation.

The threshold of significance for a given source or sink amounts to 0,05 % of a Member State’s total national greenhouse gas emissions without LULUCF for the year of the inventory under review, or 500 kt CO₂ equivalent, whichever is smaller.

In response to a finding by the Commission communicated to a Member State during the review, the Member State may request a change of their estimates of emissions or accounted emissions and removals by providing revised estimates. If a revised estimate is deemed appropriate by the technical review team, it shall be included in the review report referred to in Article 32 and accompanied by a justification.
