Subsequent reports should be submitted to the Commission by 30 June each year and should cover the preceding calendar year from 1 January to 31 December. (3) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established in accordance with Article 6 of Council Directive 91/692/EEC of 23 December 1991 standardising and rationalising reports in the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment ( 5 ), Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:







Article 1

Member States shall use the questionnaire set out in the Annex for the purpose of drawing up the annual report to be submitted to the Commission pursuant to Article 21(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC.

Article 2

The first report, which is due for submission by 30 June 2005, shall cover the four-month period from 1 January 2005 to 30 April 2005.
