(5)For 2021, the Union-wide quantity of allowances referred to in Article 9 of Directive 2003/87/EC amounts to 1571583007, as set out in Article 1 of Commission Decision (EU) 2020/1722note. In accordance with Article 10(1), first and second subparagraphs, of Directive 2003/87/EC, the maximum (annual) amount provided for by Article 10a(5) was calculated as 43 % of 1571583007, that is 675780693. From this amount of 675780693, 32500000 allowances should be deducted annually in accordance with Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC, leading to a maximum amount of 643280693 for 2021. Pursuant to Article 10a(5a) of Directive 2003/87/EC, an additional amount of up to 3 % of the total quantity of allowances, amounting to 413420157 over the ten-year period 2021 to 2030, would be used to increase the maximum amount available if the preliminary annual amounts of free allowances per installation as submitted by the Member States and the EEA EFTA states, applying the relevant factor determined in Annex V to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331, exceeded the maximum quantity referred to in Article 10a(5) of the Directive. The latter was however not the case. Therefore, the annual cross-sectoral correction factor should be 100 %.
