Article 49 Borrowed allowances: pool VRTS participants

A departing member’s share of the borrowed pool allowances is the number of VRTS allowances which results from adding together the departing member’s share of the in-year borrowed allowances for each of the scheme years of pooling during which it was a member of the pool VRTS participant, calculated in accordance with paragraph (2).

The departing member’s share of the in-year borrowed allowances for a scheme year of pooling is calculated as follows.

• Step 1

  Calculate “PNZE”, which is the number of NZE vans of which the pool VRTS participant is treated as being the manufacturer in accordance with article 8(3) and which were registered during the scheme year of pooling.

• Step 2

  Calculate “MNZE”, which is the number of NZE vans of which the departing member is the manufacturer and which were registered during the scheme year of pooling.

• Step 3

  Divide MNZE by PNZE.

• Step 4

  The departing member’s share of the in-year borrowed allowances for a scheme year of pooling is the number of those allowances multiplied by the number obtained at step 3.

A departing member must account for its share of the borrowed pool allowances in accordance with article 47(7), as if those allowances had been borrowed by it for the scheme year of pooling for which they were borrowed by the pool VRTS participant.

Any borrowed VRTS allowances which have not been accounted for by a joining manufacturer in accordance with article 47(7) must be so accounted for by the pool VRTS participant for the scheme years of pooling, as if those allowances had been borrowed by the pool VRTS participant for the scheme year for which they were borrowed by the joining manufacturer.

The administrator must update the registry to reflect the apportionment of borrowed VRTS allowances in accordance with this article.
