## What the amendments focus on

This dossier concerns a Union certification framework for carbon removals. The amendments revise the regulation's scope and recitals, debating whether to cover carbon farming and biogenic emissions reduction alongside carbon removals, referencing the Paris Agreement, IPCC reports, biodiversity and zero-pollution objectives, avoidance of greenwashing, and existing standards such as Gold Standard, VERRA and the French Label Bas Carbone; one committee proposes rejecting the Commission proposal.
