The Association of Austrian Land and Forest Owners acknowledges the importance of decarbonizing EU economy and working towards independence of raw materials. For many materials, increased circularity would be beneficial to climate change mitigation.

What they argued
Land & Forestry Holdings Austria expressly welcomes the simplification efforts during the revision of the Delegated Acts on the Taxonomy Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/852). In particular, the technical screening criteria for the activities in Chapter 1.3 Forest management, both as regards climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation, of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 (Climate Law Act) are, in our…

While the Land & Forestry Farms in Austria welcome in principle the efforts to prepare the European cultural landscape against current and future challenges, we regret that the present draft does not cover many societal issues and ecosystem dynamics and involves massive violations of the EU’s fundamental principles.

The Association of Austrian Land and Forest Owners takes note of the proposed amendments to the European Climate Law, setting a net emission reduction target of 90 % by 2040, compared to 1990. We support this ambition, pointing out that to reach this target, the crucial decarbonisation of value chains through building up bioeconomy needs an enabling policy framework for the nature-based sector.
The Association of Austrian Land and Forest Owners welcomes the commitment to reduce administrative burden connected to environmental legislations. For a long time, farmers and forest owners have called for elaborate simplification efforts to reduce the unprecedented number of bureaucratic requirements that hinders and restricts sustainable land management, endangering SMEs as well as family incomes and job security…
The Association of Austrian Land and Forest Owners welcomes the initiative of a nature credits system that should offer an opportunity for land managers to generate additional income. Ecosystem services previously without market value could be thus rewarded in the future. The applicability of existing laws such as the NRL or the Taxonomy Regulation is a prerequisite for a practicable system.
The Association of Austrian Land and Forest Owners welcomes the initiative to set a stronger focus on climate resilience and risk management. The land use sector is strongly affected by the effects of climate change and already works hard to enhance resilience and stability as well as the adaption of ecosystems to the changing dynamics.
— The Austrian Land & Forestry companies welcome the update of the efficacy assessment for nitrous oxide and the introduction of the bonus for biomethane from slurry. — The proposed adjustments in Annexes 5 and 6 leave the general question unanswered as to why the GHG saving for biomass as a renewable energy source can only be taken into account with complicated calculations taking into account countless factors for…

The Austrian Land & Forestry Companies would like to thank you for the opportunity to comment. We are monitoring with concern the process of an EU law on forest monitoring and the resulting massive curtailment of data protection rights.

We welcome the opportunity to provide feedback on this topic. With the goal to boost competitiveness and security of renewable energy supply, Europe needs to shift its strategy towards an enabling framework, acknowledging the important role of actively managed forests and wood products, rather than adding restrictions and burdens for the providers of renewable, sustainable raw materials and fuels.
Austria’s Land & Forestry Holdings welcome the initiative to evaluate the LULUCF Regulation. Sustainable, active forest management plays an essential role in the fight against climate change, which is not sufficiently taken into account in the current form of the Regulation.

Access to information, public participation in environmental matters and access to justice are important elements in a participatory process and Austria’s Land & Forestry companies support the fundamental objectives of the Aarhus Convention. However, in order not to undermine these three pillars, there must be no excessive interpretation of the fields of application.
