Can a member state change the plan after EC approval?
After receiving the EC’s approval, a member state has to proceed to take a final allocation decision at the national level. Before doing so, it can make changes to the number of allowances for individual plants as a result of improved data – for example, if historic emissions data are used for a plant-level allocation formula, or to increase the percentage of allowances that it will auction (see question 14). A member state may, however, under no circumstances increase the total number of allowances it intends to put into circulation.
