This Atodlen has no associated Memorandwm Esboniadol

Purpose of this ScheduleU.K.

1.—(1) This Schedule sets out the requirements that must be satisfied by a UK administered operator (“P”) who wishes to apply for an allocation of aviation allowances issued under Article 3e of the Directive in any trading period other than 2013 to 2020.

(2) Paragraph 10 provides for the recovery of aviation allowances to which a UK administered operator is not entitled, and applies to aviation allowances issued following an application made under Schedule 8 as well as one made under this Schedule [F1or under the 2009 Regulations].

[F2InterpretationU.K.

[F31A.  For the purpose of paragraphs (2) to (9) of this Schedule, “aviation activity” means an activity listed in the table in Annex 1 to the Directive under the section titled “Aviation”, but excluding the activities listed under points (a) to (k) of that section.]

Application for a benchmarking planU.K.

2.(1) P must apply to the regulator for a plan in accordance with Article 51(2) of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (a “benchmarking plan”).

(a)issue a benchmarking plan to P; or

(a)the regulator is not satisfied that the plan proposed in the application complies with the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation; and

(b)P has not agreed to amendments of the plan that so satisfy the regulator.

(3) Where the regulator by notice refuses to issue a benchmarking plan under sub-paragraph (1)(b), the notice must state what changes must be made to the proposed plan for the purposes of any fresh application under paragraph 2.

Amendment of a benchmarking planU.K.

4.(1) P must apply to the regulator to vary P's benchmarking plan where any significant modifications of that plan are necessary by virtue of Articles 14 and 15 of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation.

(2) Where the regulator varies the plan following an application under paragraph (1), any reference in this paragraph or in paragraph 5 to a benchmarking plan is a reference to the plan as so varied.

Reporting tonne-kilometre dataU.K.

6.  P must—

(c)make an application for an allocation by submitting the report to the regulator by 31st March in the year after the benchmarking year.

Submission of the report to the Secretary of State and the European CommissionU.K.

7.(1) Where P has made an application under paragraph 6(c) the regulator must—

(b)subject to sub-paragraph (2), refuse the application where the regulator is not satisfied that P has complied with the requirements of this Schedule.

(2) The regulator may grant the application under sub-paragraph (1)(a) where P has otherwise complied with the requirements of this Schedule but failed to comply with the deadline in Article 51(2) of the Monitoring and Reporting Regulation or in paragraph 6(c).

(3) Where the regulator refuses the application under sub-paragraph (1)(b), the notice of determination must state the regulator's reasons for doing so.

(4) The Secretary of State must, by 30th June in the year after the benchmarking year, submit to the European Commission any report submitted under sub-paragraph (1)(a).

Publication of aviation allowancesU.K.

8.(1) Within the period of 3 months beginning with the date on which the Commission adopts a decision under Article 3e(3) of the Directive in respect of a trading period, the Secretary of State must (in accordance with Article 3e(4)) calculate and publish—

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) is subject to regulation 47 (national security).

Force majeureU.K.

(i)Q having ceased to perform an aviation activity; or

(ii)an error of the regulator or registry administrator.

(2) Where sub-paragraph (1) applies, the regulator must give notice to Q instructing Q to return a sum of aviation allowances equal to those to which Q is not entitled.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
