Umweltbundesamt Austria, SQ Consult and ICF International supported the European Commission in assessing how the harmonised allocation rules, and specifically the arrangements relating to the free allocation from the new entrants reserve (NER) have functioned so far, in particular in the third phase of EU-ETS. This assessment will take into account the assessments of applications received so far for free allocation from the NER, issues raised at the helpdesk concerning new entrants and closures questions, as well as feedback collected directly from Competent Authorities. Based on these assessments, suggestions will be made and options defined on how allocation can be organised for the post-2020 period.
