Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend an error in regulation 6 of the Carbon Accounting Regulations 2009. They adjust the annual amount of carbon units to be used in determining the amount of units to be credited to or debited from the net UK carbon account as a result of the operation of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. This ensures that the annual amounts add up to the UK allocation under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme for the period 2008-2012.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
