Member States submitted to the Commission the list of installations in their territory pursuant to Article 11(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC (2).

(2)

In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Decision (EU) 2021/355 (3), the Commission raised no objections to the lists of installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC as submitted by Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden, except as set out in Article 1 and Annexes of that Decision.

Member States determined and notified the preliminary annual amounts of free allowances per installation using the revised benchmark values determined in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447 (4), pursuant to Article 14(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 (5).

(4)

In Article 1 of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/927 (6), it was determined that no adjustment needed to be applied to the preliminary annual amounts of free allowances pursuant to Article 10a(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC, as demand did not exceed the maximum amount.

Czechia notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 6 July 2022. Installation CZ-127 was reported in the initial national allocation table with the wrong identification number of the registry account. The correct permanent number replaces identification number CZ-126.

(6)

Denmark notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 2 December 2022. The historical activity levels of the heat sub-installations to installations DK-265, DK-305 and DK-375 were corrected.

Germany notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 29 November 2022. Adjustments to the heat flows that are exchanged with a heat network have been reported to installations DE-43 and DE-2495, leading to corrected factors for non-ETS heat and free allocation being moved between heat sub-installations to installation DE-43. A correction concerning acetylene led to the correction of the historical activity levels of the fuel sub-installation and the process emissions sub-installation to installation DE-235. Errors in the calculation of the historical activity level for heat sub-installations in the installations DE-892, DE-941, DE-203778, DE-203812 and DE-206021 were identified and corrected. The historical activity levels for the heat sub-installation and the fuel sub-installation to installation DE-205609 were corrected, after the detection of mistakes in the measurement of natural gas. The electricity generator status of installation DE-4111 was corrected to electricity generator. One exporter of heat is no longer part of the EU ETS leading to a decrease of allocation to installation DE-4170. Errors in electricity consumption and the electricity exchange factor were corrected for sub-installation ethylene oxide/ethylene glycols to installation DE-202606. The origin of measurable heat import to installation DE-1439 was corrected from EU ETS installation to non-ETS installation. Part of the exported heat from installation DE-1439 was identified and corrected to carbon leakage status leading to the creation of a carbon leakage heat sub-installation. Inclusion of non-reported waste heat led to an increase in the historical activity level to the heat sub-installation and a decrease in the historical activity level of the fuel sub-installation to installation DE-205540. Following a court proceeding, installation DE-204581 is split into installation DE-204581 and installation DE-493. Installation DE-204581 falls out of EU ETS since it carries out no activities causing GHG emissions. Installation DE-493 is covered under the EU ETS for production and export of measurable heat to different users including installation DE-204581.

Ireland notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 24 May 2022. The electricity generator status of installation IE-130 was corrected to ‘not’ electricity generator.

(9)

Spain notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 2 December 2022. The start date of operation of the sintered dolime sub-installation to installation ES-158 was corrected. Incorrect measurements of measurable heat flows led to overestimation of the historical activity level of the heat sub-installation to installation ES-890. Corrected measurements set a new historical activity level. Errors in the calculation of the historical activity levels for the heat sub-installations to installations ES-932 and ES-201855 were identified and corrected. Exported heat to a non-ETS installation was wrongly attributed to the ammonia sub-installation, while it should have been attributed to the heat sub-installation within installation ES-201855. Correction concerning the exported heat also entails adjustments to that sub-installation’s emissions and to the exchangeability of fuel and electricity factor to the ammonia sub-installation. Correction of a PRODCOM code led to change the carbon leakage status to non-carbon leakage to installation ES-202877.

France notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 1 December 2022. The historical activity level of the heat benchmark sub-installation to installation FR-1020 was corrected. Corrections to the heat balance and the carbon leakage status of part of the production led to an increase in the historical activity level of the carbon leakage heat benchmark sub-installation and a decrease in the historical activity level of the non-carbon leakage heat benchmark sub-installation to installation FR-182. Corrections led to a reduction in historical activity level of the mineral wool sub-installation and the addition of a carbon leakage fuel benchmark sub-installation in installation FR-1163.

(11)

Italy notified changes to its national allocation table, by letters dated 11 July 2022, 22 November 2022 and 2 December 2022. The historical activity level of the float glass sub-installation in installation IT-493 was corrected. The technical connection to installation IT-654 was corrected, leading to change the heat sub-installation into district heating sub-installation. IT-217620 is reintroduced to free allocation under the Emissions Trading System with corrected registry identification number. Corrections to the measurable heat data led to a decrease in the historical activity level of the heat benchmark sub-installation and an increase in the historical activity level of the fuel benchmark sub-installation to installation IT-457.

(12)

Hungary notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 1 December 2022. The exothermic heat from the neutralisation process was included in the activity level of the heat sub-installation in installation HU-153.

(13)

Latvia notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 1 December 2022. Corrections to the heat balance led to an increase in the historical activity level of the district heating sub-installation to installation LV-206234.

(14)

The Netherlands notified changes to its national allocation table, by letters dated 8 March 2022, 23 March 2022, 16 June 2022, 14 October 2022 and 24 October 2022. A source of heat was mistakenly treated as eligible heat under the heat sub-installation to installation NL-366. In addition, no reported heat was fed into the hydrogen sub-installation to installation NL-366. Both issues were corrected. The historical activity level of the carbon leakage heat sub-installation to installation NL-54 was corrected. The historical activity level of the process emissions sub-installation to installation NL-110 was corrected. Errors in electricity consumption and the electricity exchange factor were corrected for the styrene sub-installation to installation NL-205924. The waste gas balance and the heat balance were also corrected to installation NL-205924. Inconsistencies over the boundaries and calculations regarding the process emissions sub-installation to installation NL-205926 were corrected.

(15)

Romania notified changes to its national allocation table, by letter dated 14 November 2022. Corrections to the heat balance led to a decrease of the historical activity level for the district heating sub-installation to installation RO-207234.

(16)

Sweden notified corrections to its national allocation table by letter dated 1 December 2022. The historical activity level of the uncoated fine paper sub-installation was reduced to installation SE-471. Earlier data included unsold products which went back to the process. This part has been deducted from the historical activity level. The historical activity level of the uncoated and coated carton board sub-installations to installation SE-475 was reduced. Earlier data included unsold products which went back to the process. This part has been deducted from the historical activity level.
