1.Each account holder shall appoint a primary and a secondary authorised representative for each account created in accordance with Articles 12, 15 and 19. Requests to the registry administrator to carry out processes shall be submitted by an authorised representative on behalf of the account holder.
2.Each Member State and the Commission may allow account holders in its registry to nominate an additional authorised representative whose agreement is required in addition to the agreement of the primary or secondary authorised representative to submit a request to their registry administrator to carry out one or more of the processes pursuant to Articles 49(1), 52, 53 and 62.
3.Each verifier shall appoint at least one authorised representative to enter or approve the entry of the annual verified emissions for an installation into the verified emissions table in accordance with Article 51(1).
4.Each registry administrator and the Central Administrator shall appoint at least one authorised representative to operate and maintain their registry and the Community independent transaction log on behalf of that administrator.
[F15. Authorised representatives must be natural persons over 18 years. All authorised representatives and additional authorised representatives of a single account must be different persons but the same person can be an authorised representative or an additional authorised representative on more than one account. The registry administrator may require that at least one of the authorised representatives of operator holding accounts or person holding accounts must be a permanent resident in the Member State of the registry.
6. When nominating an authorised representative or additional authorised representative, the account holder shall provide the information required by the registry administrator. That information shall include at least the documents and identification information on the nominee set out in Annex IVa.
7. The registry administrator shall evaluate the information received and if it finds it satisfactory, it shall approve the nominee within 20 working days of receiving the information or inform the person requesting the account opening that it refuses the approval. Where the evaluation of the nominee information requires more time, the registry administrator may once extend the evaluation process by up to 20 additional working days, and notify the extension to the account holder.
8. If the registry administrator refused to approve an authorised representative or additional authorised representative, the person requesting the account opening may object to this refusal with the competent authority, who shall either instruct the registry administrator to carry out the approval or uphold the refusal in a reasoned decision. Reasons for refusing the approval may be that the person nominated as authorised representative or additional authorised representative is under investigation for being involved in fraud involving allowances or Kyoto units, money laundering, terrorist financing or other serious crimes to which the account may be an instrument, or any other reason set out in national law.
9. An authorised representative or additional authorised representative may not transfer its status as such to another person.
10. The registry administrator may remove an authorised representative or an additional authorised representative if it considers that the approval of the authorised representative or an additional authorised representative should have been refused in accordance with paragraph 7. and in particular if it discovers that the documents and identification information provided in upon nomination were fraudulent or erroneous. The account holder may object to this removal with the competent authority who shall either instruct the registry administrator to re-approve the authorised representative or an additional authorised representative or uphold the removal in a reasoned decision. Reasons for removal of an authorised representative or an additional authorised representative may be that he or she is convicted for being involved in fraud involving allowances or Kyoto units, money laundering, terrorist financing or other serious crimes to which the account may be an instrument, or any other reason set out in national law.]
