DECISION OF THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE
No 236/2012
of 31 December 2012
amending Annex XX (Environment) to the EEA Agreement
THE EEA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (‘the EEA Agreement’), and in particular Article 98 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 of 18 November 2011 establishing a Union Registry for the trading period commencing on 1 January 2013, and subsequent trading periods, of the Union emissions trading scheme pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Decision No 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Regulations (EC) No 2216/2004 and (EU) No 920/2010 (1) is to be incorporated into the EEA Agreement. |
(2) |
Decision No 280/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol (2) has not been incorporated into the EEA Agreement and therefore the specific reporting requirements foreseen in that Decision do not apply to the EFTA States. |
(3) |
The EFTA States shall be included in the Union Registry and the European Union Transaction Log (EUTL). The Central Administrator shall perform his tasks with regard to the EFTA States, whereby the EFTA Surveillance Authority shall be the competent body to give the necessary instructions to the Central Administrator in relation to provisions relating to the application of Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 for the EFTA States as appropriate. |
(4) |
The Contracting Parties understand that the specific nature of the EU ETS and the related standardised and secured system of registries pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), providing for the establishment of a Union Registry, require special rules on data storage and access regarding the Union Registry to ensure that the greenhouse gas emission allowances conform to the functional and technical specifications for data exchange standards for registry systems under the Kyoto Protocol, and that transfers of such allowances are compatible with the obligations resulting from the Kyoto Protocol. |
(5) |
The Union Registry should reflect the extension of the EU ETS to the EFTA States. According to EEA Joint Committee Decision No 152/2012 of 26 July 2012 (4), the EU Total Quantity Account, EU Aviation Total Quantity Account, EU Auction Account, EU Allocation Account, EU New Entrant Reserve Account, EU Aviation Auction Account and EU Special Reserve Account encompass the allowances of the EFTA States. |
(6) |
The Contracting Parties acknowledge the distinctive character of the Union Registry and the EUTL and the Commission’s responsibilities with regard to the secure operation and the maintenance of the system. Therefore, the Commission should be able to guarantee the immediate suspension of access when needed in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011, while taking the role of the EFTA Surveillance Authority into account. This solution is without prejudice to future matters related to the two-pillar structure set up under the EEA Agreement. |
(7) |
The Contracting Parties recognise that it is essential for the law enforcement and tax authorities of a Contracting Party, the European Anti-Fraud Office of the European Commission, the European Court of Auditors and Eurojust, as well as the competent authorities referred to in Article 11 of Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) and in Article 37(1) of Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the competent national supervisory authorities, the national administrators of Contracting Parties and the competent authorities referred to in Article 18 of Directive 2003/87/EC to be granted the right to obtain certain data stored in the Union Registry and in the EUTL in clearly defined cases if this is necessary for the performance of their tasks as set forth in Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 and Article 75 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 920/2010 (7) as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011. |
(8) |
For the same reason, the Contracting Parties, although recalling that Council Decision 2009/371/JHA (8) is not incorporated into the EEA Agreement, acknowledge that Europol obtains permanent read-only access to data stored in the Union Registry and in the EUTL. |
(9) |
The Contracting Parties recall, however, that the granting of information rights and of permanent read-only access as foreseen in Article 83 of Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 and Article 75 of Regulation (EU) No 920/2010 as amended by Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 is without prejudice to the understanding that police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters as well as tax administration or enforcement fall outside the scope of the EEA Agreement, and that the Regulations therefore do not confer on the institutions mentioned any other rights than those explicitly foreseen in their Articles 83 and 75 respectively. |
(10) |
Annex XX to the EEA Agreement should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annex XX to the EEA Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(1) |
point 21an (Commission Regulation (EU) No 920/2010) shall be amended as follows:
|
(2) |
the following shall be inserted after point 21an (Commission Regulation (EU) No 920/2010):
|
Article 2
The text of Regulation (EU) No 1193/2011 in the Icelandic and Norwegian languages, to be published in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, shall be authentic.
Article 3
This Decision shall enter into force on 1 January 2013 or on the day following the last notification to the EEA Joint Committee under Article 103(1) of the EEA Agreement (*1), whichever is the later.
Article 4
This Decision shall be published in the EEA Section of, and in the EEA Supplement to, the Official Journal of the European Union.
