DECISION (EU) 2015/1814 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 6 October 2015
concerning the establishment and operation of a market stability reserve for the Union greenhouse gas emission trading scheme and amending Directive 2003/87/EC
(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1
Market stability reserve
The allowances cancelled pursuant to Article 3gb of Directive 2003/87/EC shall be considered as issued for the purposes of the calculation of the total number of allowances in circulation.
Without prejudice to the total number of allowances to be deducted pursuant to this paragraph, until 31 December 2030, allowances referred to in Article 10(2), first subparagraph, point (b), of Directive 2003/87/EC shall not be taken into account when determining Member States’ shares contributing to that total amount.
Article 1a
Operation of the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors
Article 2
Amendments to Directive 2003/87/EC
Directive 2003/87/EC is amended as follows:
Article 10 is amended as follows:
paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:
the following paragraph is inserted after paragraph 1:
In Article 13(2), the second subparagraph is replaced by the following:
‘Member States shall issue allowances to persons for the current period to replace any allowances held by them which are cancelled in accordance with the first subparagraph. Similarly, allowances held in the market stability reserve and which are no longer valid shall be replaced by allowances which are valid for the current period.’.
Article 3
Review
The Commission shall monitor the functioning of the reserve in the context of the report provided for in Article 10(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC. That report should consider relevant effects on competitiveness, in particular in the industrial sector, including in relation to GDP, employment and investment indicators. Within three years of the start of the operation of the reserve and at five-year intervals thereafter, the Commission shall, on the basis of an analysis of the orderly functioning of the European carbon market, review the reserve and submit a legislative proposal, where appropriate, to the European Parliament and to the Council. Each review shall pay particular attention to the percentage figure for the determination of the number of allowances to be placed in the reserve pursuant to Article 1(5) of this Decision, the numerical value of the threshold for the total number of allowances in circulation, including with a view to a potential adjustment of that threshold in line with the linear factor referred to in Article 9 of Directive 2003/87/EC, as well as the number of allowances to be released from the reserve pursuant to Article 1(6) or (7) of this Decision. In its review, the Commission shall also look into the impact of the reserve on growth, jobs, and the Union’s industrial competitiveness and on the risk of carbon leakage.
Article 4
Transitional provision
Article 10(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC as amended by Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) shall continue to apply until 31 December 2018.
