Article 1
1. At the 41st session of the Executive Body of the Convention, the Union shall pursue the objective of establishing the methodology to enable updates of the Union emission baselines and emission reduction commitments set out in tables 2 to 6 of Annex II to the amended Gothenburg Protocol, based exclusively on a mathematical calculation using only information that is already set out in those tables, in order to ensure that the Union values in those tables can be updated to correctly reflect the total sum of its Member States’ emission baselines and emission reduction commitments, following changes in the membership of the Union. 2. With a view to the 41st session of the Executive Body of the Convention, and in order to achieve the objective set out in paragraph 1, the Union shall submit the proposal for the required methodology ( 2 ) . 3. The Commission, on behalf of the Union, shall communicate that proposal to the Secretariat of the Convention.
