EU greenhouse gas emissions decreased by about 40% compared with 1990 levels.

Omissions

• The 40% figure is the EEA's headline for NET emissions (including land use, land-use change and forestry carbon sinks). Gross emissions excluding LULUCF are somewhat lower — the European Commission reports a reduction of over 37% (or about 39% excluding international aviation and shipping).
• The data refers to the period 1990-2024 (2024 being the most recent reported year at the time of the session); Eurostat's gross figure for 1990-2023 was about 35%.
• The claim is framed with the word 'údajne' (allegedly), casting doubt on a figure that official EU institutions (EEA, Eurostat, Commission) publicly confirm.
