   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 14(1) thereof,

               Annex VII to Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 (2) determines the minimum frequency of analyses for relevant fuels and materials to be applied by operators for the determination of calculation factors.
            
         
               (2)

               (3)
            
            
               Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 should be amended to clarify the classification and categorisation of fuels and materials listed therein to improve consistency regarding application of appropriate factors used in the calculation of emissions.
            
         
               (4)
