Following wide consultation, the European Commission have revised the Monitoring and Reporting Guidelines (MRG) for Phase II.
The revision to the MRG introduces a number of changes to monitoring and reporting requirements. As a consequence, all operators are required to submit a revised Monitoring Plan to the Environment Agency by 30 September 2007.
A "Notice Requiring Information", which formalises the above requirement, will be sent to all permit contacts.
The notice requires operators to submit their updated monitoring plan using the revised monitoring plan template (form ETS2.2).
Please be aware that macros are used within the template form to aid completion. Whilst it is possible to complete the form with macros disabled, it is strongly advised that macros are enabled. Guidance on completing the ETS2.2 form is included in the form itself.
The completed ETS2.2 form should be sent by 30 September 2007 to: emission.trading@sepa.org.uk
Note to installations temporarily excluded from EU ETS
If you are an excluded installation returning to EU ETS in Phase II, condition 2.4.10 of your permit requires you to notify us 2 months before your return of any changes in the operation of the installation which have taken place during the period in which you have been excluded. It is likely that any such changes will impact upon your monitoring plan and these should therefore be included in the proposals which you must return to us by 30 September 2007.
Should you have any queries, or need further information after having consulted the above guidance documents, please contact us at the following email address: emission.trading@sepa.org.uk
