Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/919

Contents

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC^note, and in particular Article 21(1) thereof,Whereas:

(1)Article 21(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC requires Member States to submit annual reports to the Commission on the application of that Directive.

(2)Commission Decision 2005/381/EC^note sets out in its Annex a questionnaire to be used by the Member States for the drawing up of annual reports aimed at establishing a detailed account of the application of Directive 2003/87/EC.

(3)Directive (EU) 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council^note amended Directive 2003/87/EC so as to reflect the commitment that the European Council took in 2014 to reduce the overall greenhouse gas emissions of the Union by at least 40 % below 1990 levels by 2030.

(4)In order to implement the amendments of Directive (EU) 2018/410, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066^note laid down revised rules for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and activity data pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC in the trading period of the Union emissions trading system commencing on 1 January 2021 and subsequent trading periods. In addition, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067^note laid down revised provisions for the verification of reports submitted pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC and for the accreditation and supervision of verifiers. That Implementing Regulation also laid down provisions for the mutual recognition of verifiers and peer evaluation of national accreditation bodies pursuant to Article 15 of Directive 2003/87/EC. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 applies to the verification of greenhouse gas emissions and tonne-kilometre data from 1 January 2019 and to the verification of data relevant for the update of ex ante benchmarks and for the determination of free allocation to installations.

(5)Moreover, the rules for the free allocation of emission allowances were updated by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331^note and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842^note.

(6)It is therefore necessary to reflect in Decision 2005/381/EC the amendments to Directive 2003/87/EC and to the related implementing and delegated acts. Moreover, further experience gained by the Member States and the Commission in using the questionnaire has shown the need to improve the efficiency of the reporting and the coherence of the information reported.

(7)Decision 2005/381/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Climate Change Committee,
