(2)Article 19(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC was amended by Directive 2009/29/EC, which replaced the national registries with a Union Registry. Article 3 of Directive 2009/29/EC, however, contained a transitional provision, due to which the provisions of Directive 2003/87/EC were to continue to apply until 31 December 2012. The CITL was, in the meantime, replaced by the European Union Transaction Log (‘EUTL’), which was established by Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 920/2010note. That Commission Regulation was replaced by Commission Regulation (EU) No 389/2013note, which in its Article 4 established the Union Registry. That Commission Regulation was, in its turn and save for its Article 3, point (30), replaced by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1122note. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1122 now thus contains the rules for the functioning of the Union Registry for phase 4 of the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS), which started on 1 January 2021, and all EU ETS allowances issued from 1 January 2012 onwards are to be held in the Union Registry. As a result of the centralisation of the registries, the EUTL has become part of the Union Registry, which should be reflected in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1122. The Union Registry thus performs, since 1 January 2012, all the functions of the EUTL.
