#32026D0753Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/753 recognising Latvia's report on accurate greenhouse gas emission data for rapeseed cultivation
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The European Commission has officially recognised that the report submitted by Latvia on 23 July 2025 contains accurate typical greenhouse gas emission values for the cultivation of rapeseed in its NUTS 2 regions. This allows Latvia to use these country-specific typical values instead of the EU default values when calculating GHG emission savings for biofuels derived from rapeseed under Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The decision includes specific emission factors for rapeseed cultivation in Latvia, with a total value of 0.705 tonnes CO₂ eq per tonne of rapeseed harvested (dry matter basis). The recognition is valid until 21 April 2031, provided the data remains accurate.

Obligations
What this law requires
Latvia must immediately notify the Commission if data contained in the rapeseed GHG emissions report changes in a way that might affect the accuracy of the data
Latvia must use the country-specific typical value of 0.705 tonnes CO₂ eq per tonne of rapeseed harvested (dry matter basis) instead of EU default values when calculating GHG emission savings for biofuels derived from rapeseed
The Commission must assess any notified changes to the rapeseed GHG emissions data to determine whether the report still provides accurate data as recognized
Latvia must ensure the rapeseed GHG emissions data remains accurate for the duration of the recognition period (until 21 April 2031)
Biofuel producers must apply the recognized Latvia-specific emission factors (0.705 tonnes CO₂ eq/tonne) for rapeseed cultivation when calculating GHG savings under Directive (EU) 2018/2001, instead of default Annex V and VI values
