THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:
(1) Directive 2003/87/EC establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union (hereinafter ‘the ETS’).
(2) Pursuant to Article 14(1) of Directive 2003/87/EC as amended by Directive 2004/101/EC, Directive 2008/101/EC and Regulation (EC) No 219/2009, the Commission adopted Decision 2007/589/EC(5) establishing guidelines for the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
(3) Pursuant to Article 24(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC as amended by Directive 2004/101/EC, Directive 2008/101/EC and Regulation (EC) No 219/2009, the Commission may, on its own initiative, adopt monitoring and reporting guidelines for emissions from activities, installations and greenhouse gases which are not listed in Annex I if the monitoring and reporting of those emissions can be carried out with sufficient accuracy.
(4) Pursuant to Article 3 of Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 2003/87/EC so as to improve and extend the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme of the Community(6), Articles 14 and 24 of Directive 2003/87/EC as amended by Directive 2004/101/EC, Directive 2008/101/EC and Regulation (EC) No 219/2009, continue to apply until 31 December 2012.
