terion of the 21st century. In this regard, Turkey's main policies and measures focus on sectors such as energy, industry, transportation, agriculture, waste and forestry. In a world that is technologically and economically developed, new economy and development concepts which are environment-friendly are developed. In this respect, minimizing the pressure on the nature and on use of natural resources, keeping energy and water use at minimum levels throughout the productionconsumption chain and supporting the energy market through incen- tives on the use of new and environment-friendly sources of energy is the basis of the new development model for Turkey Additionally, there are other things that we can do for competition and development. They are, hybrid cars, low fuel consuming and low emitting technologies, eco-buildings and eco-towns, and protection and improvement of forests; preparing a new administration structure that stands on transparency, accountability and participation; orient- ing subsidies and financial arrangements on eco-friendly research and develop- ment efforts and technologies have key roles in the environment of develop- ment. A natural outcome is the need to integrate national and/or sectoral develop- ment strategies and climate change policies into institutional structures and legislation.
TABLE40 National Energy Strategy: for a more competitive and sustainable energy Moreover, in case of exceeding the national targets, the possibility of transfer of surplus shares can be considered, through the mechanism of statistical transfer provided for in Directive 2009/28/EC. The economic benefits resulting from the activation of this instrument will be used to reduce the incentive costs imposed on electricity tariffs.
This Order revokes in the United Kingdom the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order (“the 2013 Order”) with savings (article 3(1) and (2)). It also makes amendments to the 2013 Order to the extent that it continues to operate by virtue of those savings (Schedule 1); and amends the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Order (“the 2010 Order”) to the extent that it continues to operate following its revocation, with savings, by the 2013 Order (Schedule 2). Both the 2013 Order and the 2010 Order established an emissions trading scheme, which applies to direct and indirect emissions from supplies of electricity and gas by public bodies and undertakings. The 2013 Order remains in effect for the purpose of the initial phase of the scheme it established.
This Order provides that exemption certificates may be issued by Revenue Scotland to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish local authorities and other bodies who have powers to remove illegally or improperly deposited waste. In terms of the Order, disposals of illegally deposited waste at an authorised landfill site are not chargeable to Scottish landfill tax under the Landfill Tax (Scotland) Act 2014, if made in accordance with an exemption certificate.

(2) The regulations must provide that the power in question may only be exercised where the person on whom it is conferred reasonably believes there has been a failure to comply with the requirements of a trading scheme. (3) This paragraph applies to- (a) a national authority, (b) the administrator of the scheme, and (c) such other person as may be specified in or determined in accordance with the regulations.
These Regulations make provision in relation to bringing into force sections 83 (core path plans) and 84 (access rights: service of court applications) of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016. They also make transitory provision so that the references to “a repairing tenancy” inserted into various enactments by the provisions of schedule 1 are to be ignored until such time as section 92 of the 2016 Act comes into force for all purposes. That section provides for the creation of repairing tenancies, and it is currently only in force for the purpose of making regulations in relation to repairing tenancies. Acts amended include the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1973, the Land Tenure Reform (Scotland) Act 1974 and the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003.
Compliance with regulatory principles E+W+N.I. 23 E+W+N.I. A relevant national authority may not make any provision conferring power on an administrator to impose a civil sanction in relation to a breach of regulations under this unless the authority is satisfied that the administrator will act in accordance with the principles that- (a) regulatory activities should be carried out in a way that is transparent, accountable, proportionate and consistent; (b) regulatory activities should be targeted only at cases in which action is needed.
These Regulations establish for Northern Ireland a renewable heat incentive scheme under which owners of plants which generate heat from specified renewable sources and meet specified criteria may receive payments at prescribed tariffs for the heat used for eligible purposes. Payments may also be made to biomethane producers who produce biomethane for injection. The Regulations also provide for the procedures for accreditation, registration, change of ownership and preliminary accreditation with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment. Amendments are made to insert a definition of the Combined Heat and Power Quality Assurance (‘CHPQA’) Standard. The Standard aims to help ensure the requirements in Article 14 of Directive 2012/27/EU on Energy Efficiency (the ‘Energy Efficiency Directive’) are met.
In 2018, the United Kingdom published “UK CCUS Deployment Pathway: An Action Plan”, which set out actions the country should take in order to achieve the objective of deploying CCUS at-scale in the 2030s, subject to sufficient cost reductions. The Action Plan notably outlines a goal to establish a first commercial CCUS facility operating in the 2020s, identifies several major industrial centres for which CCUS could play an important role in creating low carbon industrial clusters, and describes actions related to overcoming policy barriers, delivering infrastructure, and promoting innovation.
Health and environment. There is a host of health and environmental benefits attached to the Net Zero transition. More walking and cycling and less carbon-intensive diets can improve health, as can cleaner air and better insulated homes (e.g. the annual cost to the NHS of poor-quality housing in England alone has been estimated at over £1 billion).+ Restoration of peatlands and planting of woodlands can improve access to green space and, done well, can provide new income streams for farmers, improve the natural environment, support biodiversity and improve adaptation to the impacts of climate change. Scotland, Wales and Northem Ireland together cover a fifth of UK emissions. They have an integral role to play in delivering the UK's Sixth Carbon Budget on the path to Net Zero. For Scotland and Wales, this will be achieved under long-term targets passed in Holyrood and the Senedd Cymru. Northern Ireland is considering introducing its own climate legislation. Why the budget is right for Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland

Under the Petroleum Act 1998, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change may grant licences for a defined geographical area ordnance survey blocks and for a specified period of time. These licences confer exclusive rights on the licensee to search and bore for and get petroleum but do not, in their own right, confer on the licensee any consent, permission or authorisation to carry out development activity. The oil and gas licensing system is administered by the Oil Gas Authority OGA, an executive agency of the Department of Energy and Climate Change DECC, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. Oil and gas licensing administration transferred from DECC to the OGA on 1st April 2015. On the 28th of July 2014, DECC opened the 14th round for companies seeking licences to explore for onshore oil and gas, with the round closing on the 28th October 2014. In total, DECC received 95 licence applications covering 295 blocks in England, Scotland and Wales.
Following reviews of geotechnical analysis, scrutiny of the operator competency, financial viability, capacity and environmental awareness and following the decision not to award licences in Scotland and Wales, this was reduced to 159 blocks for further consideration. Why We Are Consulting
Each of these 159 blocks, for which a licence application has been received, has been analysed and assessed in accordance with the requirements of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 the Habitats Regulations. The Habitats Regulations provide for certain protections to be accorded to sites designated under the Regulations. It is the purpose of this strategic plan-level Habitats Regulations Assessment to present the findings of the appropriate assessment of effects on European sites arising from the blocks that were taken forward for further consideration. The associated consultation is designed to seek views on the proposed approach and assessment. We would welcome your views in line with the questions posed in the consultation document.

Section 3 Sectoral Interim Targets. Art. 3 The interim targets for 2015 are: a. for the building sector: no more than 78 percent of 1990 emissions; for the traffic sector: no more than 100 percent of 1990 emissions; for the industry sector: no more than 93 percent of 1990 emissions. b. c. 2 If a sector-specific Federal Department interim target listed in paragraph 1 is not achieved, then the of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications
Figure 1: Indicative delivery pathway to 2037 by sector So this strategy sets out our plans for reducing emissions from each sector of our economy, while hoovering up any remaining emissions with greenhouse gas removals - either natural, like trees, or technological, using carbon capture. This is an historic plan. Taken together the transitions set out below for every sector of the UK economy meets Carbon Budgets 4 and 5, and puts us on the path for Carbon Budget 6- and ultimately on course for net zero by 2050.

Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth Department for Business, Energy & Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime – Bulb Energy Limited (‘Bulb’) I and the Secretary of State have written to you on 25 November, 29 December and 31 January, and 1st March about the special administration of Bulb Energy. In order to protect Bulb’s customers, and to limit wider industry contagion, the Secretary of State agreed to initiate the Energy Supply Company Special Administration Regime (SAR) in respect of Bulb. This is a temporary situation and Government is working with the Energy Administrators to ensure value for money for consumers and taxpayers, and a swift exit from SAR. As you know, Government financial support has been agreed with the company and Energy Administrators. This takes the form of a working capital loan which includes Contingent Liabilities in the form of letters of credit to reduce upfront cash requirements, and a guarantee facility in respect of borrowings incurred by the company during the SAR. This is for the sole purpose of securing the statutory objective of Energy Supply Company SAR, which is the continuation of energy supplies to Bulb’s customers at the lowest reasonable, practicable cost until such time as the SAR becomes unnecessary. Appropriate governance arrangements are in place to ensure value for money and that any financial support provided is the minimum necessary for the Energy Administrators to discharge their statutory objective. The 29 December letter set out, in a confidential annex, the letters of credit issued to counterparties on the behalf of Bulb. Attached at Annex A to this letter are details of a new letter of credit which has been issued. Parliament will be informed via a Written Ministerial Statement and Departmental Minutes for the Contingent Liabilities. I am writing in equivalent terms to Meg Hillier as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee and Mel Stride as Chair of the Treasury Committee. A copy of this letter goes to Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General and to the Treasury Officer of Accounts. Minister of State for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change
