Having regard to the Act of Accession of the Republic of Croatia, and in particular Article 50 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/944/EC determines base-year emission levels for the Union and its Member States for the five-year period of the first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol. Those emission levels, set out in the Annex to that Decision, were established following the completion of the reviews conducted pursuant to Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

(3) Following the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union on 1 July 2013, the Annex to Decision 2006/944/EC should also include the emission level allocated to Croatia under the Kyoto Protocol.
