The appropriate regulator shall determine for each producer or importer, having reported data to the appropriate regulator on the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons placed on the market from 2015 to 2019,..., a reference value based on the annual average of the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons the producer or importer reported to have placed on the market from 2015 to 2019. The reference values shall be calculated in accordance with Annex V to this Regulation.\nAn appropriate authority for any part of Great Britain shall consult the appropriate authority for each other part of Great Britain before a proposal is made to allocate quota.\nA consultation conducted in respect of the above shall have regard to the response of any other appropriate authority and an assessment of the impact of the proposal on any part of Great Britain.\n2. Producers and importers that have not reported to the appropriate regulator the placing on the market of quantities of hydrofluorocarbons for the ... period referred to in paragraph 1 may declare their intention to place hydrofluorocarbons on the market ....\nThe declaration shall be addressed to the appropriate regulator, specifying the types of hydrofluorocarbons and the quantities that are expected to be placed on the market.\nThe appropriate regulator shall issue a notice of the time-limit for submitting those declarations. Before submitting a declaration pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 4 of this Article, undertakings shall register in the registry provided for in Article 17.\n3. By 31st October 2023 and every three years thereafter, the appropriate regulator shall recalculate the reference values for the producers and importers referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article on the basis of the annual average of the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons lawfully placed on the market from 1 January 2015 as reported under Article 19 or otherwise for the years available. The appropriate regulator shall determine those reference values.\n...\n4. Producers and importers for which reference values have been determined may declare additional anticipated quantities following the procedure set out in paragraph 2.\n5. The appropriate regulator shall allocate quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market for each producer and importer for each year beginning with the year 2021, applying the allocation mechanism laid down in Annex VI.\nQuotas shall only be allocated to producers or importers which are established within any part of the United Kingdom, or which have mandated an only representative established within any part of the United Kingdom for the purpose of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation. The only representative may be the same as the one mandated pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council.\nThe only representative shall comply with all obligations of producers and importers under this Regulation.",
