The DEHSt publication of the NIMs List (NIMs = National Implementation Measures) illustrates how the interim volumes of allocations have been distributed among the stationary stock of installations for the third trading period. This list of installations does not include new traders on the market, aviation operators or installations which are subject to trading in the third period but will no longer receive certificates.
The current figures do not reflect the final numbers of allocation certificates, as they do not take into account a possible adjustment by correction factor that might be applied throughout the EU and across all sectors. This correction factor will adjust the volumes of allocations in accordance with the existing budget of emissions certificates.
Every EU Member States must submit a NIMs List to the European Commission which then reviews and approves these lists. After that, DEHSt can make a final calculation of allocation volumes and issue notifications accordingly. The list of installations and its provisional figures have been published on the DEHSt web page.
Final figures for 2012 and 2013-2020 trading period have already been established for aviation operators. This list has also been posted on the DEHSt web page.
