NAP : National Allocation Plan

"One of the core tasks in the run-up to the implementation of the EU-wide GHG allowance trading scheme is the elaboration of national allocation plans by Member States.

Allocation is governed by Articles 9 to 11 and Annex III of Directive 2003/87/EC on the establishment of the EU-ETS.

Each Member State has to establish a national allocation plan for each trading period (see EU-ETS).
In this allocation plan the Member State decides :

• the total number of allowances to be created for the period
• and the distribution of these allowances to individual plants."
