COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 100/2014
of 5 February 2014
amending Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 on the list of aircraft operators that performed an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on or after 1 January 2006 specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (1), and in particular Article 18a(3)(b) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Directive 2008/101/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) amended Directive 2003/87/EC to include aviation activities in the scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 (3) establishes a list of aircraft operators which had performed an aviation activity as defined in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC on or after 1 January 2006.
(3)
That list aims to reduce the administrative burden on aircraft operators by providing information on which Member State will be regulating a particular aircraft operator.
(4)
The inclusion of an aircraft operator in the Union’s emissions trading scheme is dependent upon the performance of an aviation activity as set out in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC and is not dependent on the inclusion in the list of aircraft operators established by the Commission on the basis of Article 18a(3) of that Directive.
(5)
In establishing the updated list of the aircraft operators to include aircraft operators which performed an aviation activity listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC in 2013, account has been taken of the fleet list declarations provided to the Commission by aircraft operators and service companies. However, a number of management or service companies and aircraft registration markings appear in the updated list instead of aircraft operators due to a lack of information provided.
(6)
Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 748/2009 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
