Partial activation of the Union Registry Today the European Commission has partially activated the Union Registry.

The access to the Union Registry and all information on how aircraft operators can open an account will be published on this website in the course of this week. |

Transition to the Union Registry in June 2012 In 2012 the single Union Registry will start functioning and will centralise all accounts and operations in a single system under the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) that until now have been carried out by the national Registries of the Member States. This centralised system is being established in order to improve the efficiency and security of the EU ETS infrastructure. Following consultations between the Member States and the European Commission it was decided that the Union Registry will be activated in two steps as follows: • As of 30 January 2012 the Union Registry will be partially activated in order to allow airlines to open accounts and receive any free allowances by the end February 2012. • The full activation of the Union Registry, including the transfer of existing accounts from national registries, will take place in June 2012. Please note that prior to the full activation of the Union Registry we will inform in detail about the migration of the excisting accounts and the allowances held there to the Union Registry. Security credentials together with a clear explanation of the authentication procedure within the Union Registry will be sent out through secured means. Prior to the full activation of the Union Registry, the existing national Registry of Austria will remain operational. All transactions and compliance cycle operations under the EU Emission Trading Scheme will be executed through the national Registry. This is to remind that the ETS compliance cycle consists of allocation of free allowances for 2012 to stationary installations in February 2012, the reporting of verified 2011 emissions by operators in March 2012 and the surrender of allowances by operators in April 2012 as well as final compliance checks in May 2012.
