THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 21(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The questionnaire set out in the Annex to Commission Decision 2005/381/EC (2) should be adjusted in the light of the experience gained by Member States and the Commission in using the questionnaire and in assessing the replies to the questionnaire for drawing up the annual reports which were due by 30 June 2005.
(2)
The replies by Member States identified areas relevant for the Commission report on the application of Directive 2003/87/EC not yet included in the questionnaire set out in the Annex to Decision 2005/381/EC.
(3)
The assessment of the replies by Member States showed that some questions were not answered consistently and in need of further clarification.
(4)
The experience gained during the first complete cycle of monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions by installations included in the emissions trading scheme necessitated a review of the relevant sections of the questionnaire.
(5)
The Annex to Decision 2005/381/EC should therefore be amended accordingly and, for clarity purposes, replaced.
(6)
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 standardizing and rationalizing reports on the implementation of certain Directives relating to the environment (3),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The Annex to Decision 2005/381/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 23 November 2006.
