2. Determination of the quantity of allowances at sector level

2.1 By what methodology has the allocation been determined at sector level? Has the same methodology been used for all activities? If not, explain why a differentiation depending on activity was considered necessary, how the differentiation was done, in detail, and why this is considered not to unduly favour certain sectors within the Member State.

The allocation is made first at sector level, and then – at installation level within the sectors.

At sector level, the quantity of allowances to be allocated to the installations in the sector is calculated as a ratio of the sum of verified projected emissions of the installations covered by the Scheme to the projection for the sector calculated according to the approaches described in section 1.2. The data received from the application of the two approaches – “top-down” and “bottom-up” is compared to clarify any inconsistency. Received data is compared also with the data of the National greenhouse gas inventory for 2003, ensuring the compatibility of calculated quantity of allowances with the obligation of the country under the Kyoto Protocol. This process is described in more details in the current section:
