1
An RTF order may make provision for the Administrator to issue certificates to transport fuel suppliers (“RTF certificates”).
2
An RTF certificate is to certify—
a
that the supplier to whom it is issued has supplied the amount of renewable transport fuel stated in the certificate;
b
that that amount of such fuel was supplied by him during the period stated in the certificate;
c
that that amount of such fuel was supplied by him during that period at or for delivery to a place in the United Kingdom or in the part of the United Kingdom stated in the certificate; and
d
the other specified facts.
3
Such a certificate may be issued to a supplier only if—
a
he applies for it in the specified manner;
b
his application includes evidence of the specified kind and in the specified form; and
c
the other specified conditions are satisfied.
4
An RTF order may authorise transfers of RTF certificates (whether for a consideration or otherwise) between persons of specified descriptions.
5
Such an order may also provide that such a transfer is not to be effective unless—
a
the specified details of it have been notified to the Administrator in the specified manner and within the specified time; and
b
the other specified requirements have been complied with.
6
If a supplier produces an RTF certificate to the Administrator, it is to count for the purposes of section 124(2) as sufficient evidence of the facts certified.
7
An RTF order may provide that, in specified circumstances, evidence produced by virtue of subsection (6) may count to the specified extent towards the discharge of a renewable transport fuel obligation for a period even if it is produced after the time by which evidence had to be produced for the purposes of that obligation.
8
Such an order may also provide that, in specified circumstances, evidence produced by virtue of subsection (6) may count to the specified extent towards the discharge of a renewable transport fuel obligation for a period that is later than the period stated in the certificate in question in accordance with subsection (2)(b).
