b)  Commitment period reserve 

11.  For the purposes of the joint fulfilment, the commitment period reserve applies to the 
EU, its Member States and Iceland individually. The commitment period reserve (CPR) 
of the European Union is 14 231 780 406 tonnes CO2-eq. The European Union CPR is 
contained in annex II, table II.1, of the “Report on the individual review of the annual 
submission of the European Union submitted in 2022”4 and was agreed by the relevant 
expert review team. 

c)  Total quantity of units in the retirement account 

There  are  three  types  of  assigned  amount  in  relation  to  the  EU’s  joint  fulfilment  under  the 
second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol: on the one hand, the joint assigned amount, 
and on the other, the respective emission levels of the members to the joint fulfilment, namely 
the EU’s assigned amount and the Member States’ and Iceland’s assigned amounts: 

4 FCCC/ARR/2022/EU 

3 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
i. 

Joint assigned amount: the joint assigned amount for the European Union, its Member 
States  and  Iceland  is  calculated  pursuant  to  the  quantified  emission  limitation  and 
reduction commitment listed in the third column of the table contained in Annex B to 
the Kyoto Protocol, while the assigned amount of each  Member State and Iceland is 
determined  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the  joint  fulfilment  agreement  and  fixed 
based on annex II to European Commission decision 2013/162/EU and as adjusted by 
European Commission implementing decision 2013/634/EU. 

ii.  EU  assigned  amount:  the  emission  level  and  assigned  amount  for  the  EU  is  the 
difference  between  the  joint  assigned  amount  of  the  members,  and  the  sum  of  the 
emission levels of the Member States and Iceland. The assigned amount of the EU is 
counted  against  the  emissions  of  greenhouse  gases  listed  in  Annex  A  to  the  Kyoto 
Protocol that are also covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) pursuant 
to  Directive  2009/29/EC  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  amending 
Directive  2003/87/EC  so  as  to  improve  and  extend  the  greenhouse  gas  emission 
allowance trading scheme of the Community. The sectors covered by the EU Emissions 
Trading System are those specified in Annex I of the EU ETS Directive and taking into 
account the application of its articles 24 and 27. 

iii.  Member States’ and Iceland’s assigned amounts: The emission levels of the Member 
States and Iceland cover the emissions from sectors and gases listed in Annex A to the 
Kyoto Protocol not covered by Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and 
of  the  Council  amending  Directive  2003/87/EC  so  as  to  improve  and  extend  the 
greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme of the Community. This includes 
all emissions from sources and removals by sinks covered by Article 3(3) and (4) of the 
Protocol, noting that some LULUCF activities are voluntary, as well as all emissions of 
nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) under the Kyoto Protocol. The figure for individual Member 
States is equal to the sum of each Member State’s Annual Emissions Allocation (AEA) 
under  Decision  No  406/2009/EC  on  the  effort  of  Member  States  to  reduce  their 
greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community’s greenhouse gas emission reduction 
commitments up to 2020 (Effort Sharing Decision) for the years 2013 to 2020 before 
the application of Article 3(7bis).  

Regarding LULUCF, EU Member States, the UK and Iceland will continue to apply Article 
3(3)  and  (4)  of  the  Kyoto  Protocol.  Each  Member  State,  UK  and  Iceland  will  individually 
account for net emissions and removals for each activity under Article 3(3) and (4), if elected, 
by  issuing  RMUs  or  cancelling  Kyoto  Protocol  units  in  their  Kyoto  registries  based  on  the 
corresponding  reported  emissions  and  removals  from  these  activities  and  the  specific 
accounting rules. The EU will neither issue, nor cancel units based on the reported emissions 
and removals from activities under Article 3(3) and (4).  

‘For the assessment of compliance with the joint fulfilment agreement at the end of the second 
commitment  period,  the  total  GHG  emissions  of  the  EU,  its  Member  States,  the  United 
Kingdom and Iceland from sources listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol for the period 2013 
to 2020 shall be compared to the total amount of Kyoto units retired in the Kyoto registries of 
the EU, its Member States, the United Kingdom and Iceland’5 as submitted in their True-up 
period  reports.  The  total  GHG  emissions  of  the  EU  have  been  reviewed  as  part  of  the 
resubmission of the EU's GHG inventory in December 2022 and are final.’6

The message is updated in v13.6.1 in order to contain the correct KP role and account type.EUCREUCR 13.6.1PASSED2BugSurrender Screen - Incorrect required amount for EU surrender messageWhen an AOHA has a negative carry-over from Phase 3, the surrender proposal screen displays a message informing about the unit type, ETS Phase and the number of allowances to surrender to become compliant. The total number of Phase 3 allowances displayed that are needed for surrender for EU is the total amount for both EU and CH.EUCREUCR 13.6.1PASSED3BugClaim Functionality issuesDropdowns with country selections are very slow when choosing a country. e.g. account holder's country and countries where account holder has other open. When no AR is added and the user clicks Next there was no error message displayed requiring the user to add ARs. This also triggers the claim process to be unstable since when you try adding an AR afterwards, the changes cannot be saved accounts.  Not possible to go back to previous stepsEUCREUCR 13.6.1PASSED4BugUpdate of Parent and Subsidiary Undertaking issuesUpdate of the parent and/or subsidiary undertaking of an OHA:  Company registration number of Subsidiary undertaking cannot be entered (when NULL) when explore feature is used.

Issue TypeSummaryDescription / Test CasesComponentVersionStatus42ImprovementTAL preferences textThe 'Update' button is not available at all times as the option to update preferences relies on the Roles and Permissions as well as whether there is pending task to update TAL preferences. The sentence “'To update the preferred options click the Update button, perform the change and then submit for approval.” Is removed. EUCREUCR 13.7.1PASSED43ImprovementTransaction Aggregation for Kyoto transactionsOn EUTL Public, the number of units per project identifier are now aggregated so as not to show multiple rows for the same project identifier.EUCREUCR 13.7.1PASSED44ImprovementAdd Period to Transaction outcome notificationThe transaction outcome notification sent by e-mail to the users now includes the phase of the involved units. EUCREUCR 13.7.1PASSED45ImprovementOHA incorrectly set to the status blocked showing the dynamic compliance status CWhen the LYE is set to the current year and there is no missing VE for any previous years then, the account should not be blocked. The account will only be blocked during the 1st of April blocking job run. Hence, for these accounts, they should be able to operate like a normal open account. This should work similarly to any account with no LYE set. The dynamic compliance calculation and account status are calculated accordingly to the availability of VE from all the years the account is in scope of the ETS (CH and EU for AOHA). EUCREUCR 13.7.1PASSED46BugLinked Registries Activity Reports - Reports are available to NAsThe permissions regarding the Swiss Linking reports below will not be granted by default to NAs, since the permissions are for CA/CA-CHL only.·        View Swiss Deletion Report·        View Swiss Holdings Report·        View Swiss International Allocation Report·        View Swiss compliance reportEUCREUCR 13.8.2PASSED47BugEUCR NAVAT not migrated to the new registry after release and claimNAVAT and its history is not migrated to the new registry after release and claim.EUCREUCR 13.8.2PASSED48BugTransfer to CH: No error message when not enough allowancesIssue reported: When performing an international transfer and the user entered an amount that is more than the available quantity and clicked on Next, no error message is displayed.Expected error message: 80000: The amount 5 of EU General Allowance (EUA) is not available in the account: 5009327Fix applied: Error 80000 is displayed after user clicks "Confirm" to the proposed transaction (not after clicks on Next).EUCREUCR 13.8.2PASSED49BugAbort Button not visible to AR - Approver OnlyAbort Button of transaction was not available to AR (Approver Only).EUCREUCR 13.8.2PASSED50ImprovementMissing headers from csv fileIssue: the headers from several csv files were missing at export.Issue is now verified and fixed in v13.8.

If either one of the two entries is deleted, the other one is also deleted. If the account representative is added again, it is displayed twice again. This is a specific case when the AR is attempted to be added to the account, then initially rejected, and added again successfully. The same account must be released and claimed by a new account holder and the same AR is added again to the new account holder.EUCREUCR 13.8.2PASSED63BugAnchor to Contact pointsClicking on Contact from EUTL Public displays the Union Registry Links but not exactly the section of the Contact points.EUCREUCR 13.10PASSED64ImprovementUse of different colours in the EU Login Signature page can cause confusionThe use of different colours in the EU Login Signature page can cause confusion for the users when performing the transaction signature.EUCREUCR 13.10PASSED

as  the  meeting  of  the  Parties  to  the  Kyoto  Protocol  in  Doha,  by  Decision  1/CMP.8,  in 
accordance with Article 4 of the Kyoto Protocol provides that the members will fulfil their 
commitments by ensuring that, in accordance with Article 4(5) and (6) of the Kyoto Protocol, 
the combined sum of the aggregate anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of 
the greenhouse gases listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol in the Member States and Iceland 
does not exceed their joint assigned amount. 
The joint assigned amount of the EU, its Member States and Iceland for the period 2013-2020, 
as established in the initial review report, is 37 604 433 280 t CO2 eq10. 

The assigned amounts of the individual Member States and Iceland cover the emissions from 
sectors and gases listed in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol not covered by the EU’s emissions 
trading  system  (ETS),  i.e.,  emissions  covered  by  the  EU’s  Effort  Sharing  Decision.  The 
assigned  amounts  for  the  period  2013-2020  were  calculated  per  each  Member  State  after 
exclusion of LULUCF activities. However, 6 countries (DK, IE, LU, NL, PT and UK) were 
allowed to include net emissions from deforestation activities in the calculation of their assigned 
amounts. The total amount assigned to the individual Member States and Iceland is 21 791 343 
942 t CO2 eq. A breakdown of the assigned amounts per country is presented in Table A.1. 

The assigned amount of the Union for the period 2013-2020 amounts to the difference between 
the joint assigned amount and the sum of the individual assigned amounts of the Member States 
and Iceland, and is, as established in the UNFCCC initial review report, 15 813 089 338 t CO2 
eq. It covers emissions under the EU ETS. The sectors covered by the EU Emissions Trading 
System are those specified in Annex I of the  EU ETS Directive and taking into account the 
application of its Articles 24 and 27. 

Based on the above, for the purpose of compliance with the second commitment period of the 
Kyoto protocol, the assigned amounts of the individual Member States and Iceland should 
not be compared with the sum of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent emissions 
of  the  greenhouse  gases  listed  in  Annex  A  to  the  Kyoto  Protocol  in  these  individual 
countries as the calculation of the assigned amounts of these countries excludes ETS emissions 
on their territory. 

9 In this Annex, ‘Member States’ should be understood as the current 27 EU Member States and the United Kingdom.
