Annual emission allocation units should be issued in the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD) Compliance Accounts in the Union Registry in the quantities determined pursuant to Article 3(2) and 10 of Decision No 406/2009/EC.

Further analysis will be undertaken with the aim of assessing the mitigation potential and most appropriate policy approach which could, for example, use a future Effort Sharing Decision governing the non-ETS GHG emissions or an explicit separate pillar, or a combination of both.

The allocation of the returned assigned amount units addresses the unique circumstances of the ratification of the Doha Amendment, and is not applicable to and does not prejudge any distribution of efforts among Member States in other contexts, either at international or Union level.
