Consultation on Installation Level Lists for Phase II of EU ETS
The UK submitted its National Allocation Plan (NAP) for Phase II of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) to the European Commission on the 21 August. Stakeholders now have the opportunity to comment on the list of installation-level allocations prior to its finalisation later this year.
The National Allocation Plan sets out the policy for Phase ll of the Scheme as required by the Emissions Trading Directive (Directive 2003/87/EC) and, subject to any amendments required by the Commission, is now fixed. The Government outlined its objectives for Phase II and consulted upon them in March 2005. In July 2005 Government conducted a full consultation on proposals for Phase II and in March 2006 the Draft National Allocation Plan was published for consultation. Alongside this there have been further consultations on the projections used for calculating sector totals, new entrant benchmarks and small installations
This consultation was issued on 21st August and closes on 16th October 2006. See the Defra website for further information: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/euets-phase2-install/index.htm
