((Reference for a preliminary ruling - Scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the European Union - Directive 2003/87/EC - Temporal scope - Time when the emissions trading obligation arises - Article 3 - Annexe I - Concept of ‘installation’ - Combustion of fuels in installations with a total rated thermal input exceeding 20 MW))
(2016/C 350/16)
Language of the case: German
Applicant: Vattenfall Europe Generation AG
Defendant: Bundesrepublik Deutschland
In so far as Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC, as amended by Directive 2009/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 includes the ‘combustion of fuels in installations with a total rated thermal input exceeding 20 MW’ in the list of categories of activities to which that directive applies, it must be interpreted as meaning that the emissions trading obligation of an installation for the generation of electricity starts on the date of the first emissions of greenhouse gases, and thus potentially before the date of the first generation of electricity.
