January 2005 to 31 December 2008 calculated median value of the annual historical emissions of the sub-plant as a result of the production of measurable heat exported to private households, the provisional annual number of emission allowances shall be: for 2013 adjusted by the difference. The same adjustment shall be made for the years 2014 to 2020, provided that the period of time for the period of 1 January 2007 is 1. January 2005 to 31 December 2008 calculated median value of the historical emissions of the sub-plant multiplied by a factor of 0.90 in 2014, which dates back to 0.1 in each subsequent year, is higher than that determined in accordance with paragraph 2 Z 2 provisional annual number of emission allowances for the year in question.

(10) There is an installation of subinstallations in which pulp (short-fibre sulfated pulp, long-fibre sulphurate pulp, thermo-mechanical pulp and mechanical pulp, sulphite pulp or other, not below a product reference value) is falling. For the calculation of the provisional annual total quantity of the emission allowances to be allocated free of charge, in accordance with paragraph 9, without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 9 of this Article, the the provisional annual number of other sub-installations of the Emission allowances to be allocated free of charge-the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge only to the extent that the pulp products produced by this sub-plant are placed on the market and are not processed into paper in the same plant or in technically connected plants.

(11) In calculating the total annual amount of the emission allowances to be allocated to each plant for free, it is necessary to ensure that emissions are not counted twice and that the allocation is not negative. If an intermediate product, according to the definition of the respective system limits according to Annex 1 is subject to a product reference value, imported from an installation, the emissions in the calculation of the provisional annual total quantity of the emission allowances to be allocated to the two installations shall not be counted twice in particular .

Allocation to new entrants

§ 16. (1) For the allocation of emission allowances to new entrants according to § 3 Z 6 lit. b sublit. aa EZG 2011 the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry, the Environment and Water Management calculates the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge from the start of the normal operation of the plant separately for each sub-installation as follows:

1.

For each sub-installation with the product reference value, the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge per year shall be equal to the relevant product reference value multiplied by the product-related activity rate;

2.

for each sub-installation with a reference to heat reference value, the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge per year shall correspond to the reference value for this measurable heat in accordance with Annex 1 , multiplied by the heat-related activity rate;

3.

for each sub-installation with fuel reference value, the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge per year shall correspond to the fuel reference value in accordance with Annex 1 , multiplied by the fuel-related activity rate;

4.

for each sub-installation with process emissions, the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated free of charge per year shall be equal to the rate of activity-related activity rate multiplied by 0,9700.

(2) For the calculation of the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated for free of charge, § 7 (4) to (8) and (11) as well as § § 8, 9, 10 and 11 shall apply.

Additional emission allowances shall be allocated to the new entrant on the basis of the historical emissions declared in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, for independently verified emissions which have been carried out before normal operations are carried out.

(4) For the allocation of installations according to § 3 Z 6 lit. b sublit. bb the Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry, the Environment and Water Management shall, without prejudice to the allocation to the installation pursuant to § 7, calculate the provisional annual number of free of charge according to the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article. Emission certificates specifically for the substantial capacity expansion of the sub-installations concerned.

(5) The total provisional annual quantity of the emission allowances to be allocated free of charge shall be the sum of the provisional annual number of emission allowances to be allocated to all subinstallations, calculated in accordance with paragraph 1, and the additional emission allowances to be allocated to all subinstallations. Emission allowances in accordance with paragraph 3. Section 7 (10) shall apply.

(6) The total annual quantity of the emission allowances to be allocated for free shall be equal to the provisional annual total quantity of the emission allowances to be allocated to each facility, calculated in accordance with paragraph 5, multiplied by the amount of emission allowances to be allocated in Annex 8 of the ECG 2011 for the relevant year, the reference quantity being based on a total provisional annual quantity calculated for the year 2013 for the installation in question.
