(2) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723 lays down the detailed rules for the yearly calculation of the price difference between eligible aviation fuels and fossil kerosene and the detailed rules for allocating the 20 million allowances in order to operationalise the allocation. (3) In accordance with Article 6(1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723, competent authorities under Directive 2003/87/EC determined the demand for allowances for each commercial aircraft operator they administer, which used eligible aviation fuels in 2025 and applied for this additional ETS support. (4) In accordance with Article 6(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Finland, and Sweden notified the demand for allocation of allowances to the Commission. Slovenia notified no demand. (5) In the light of Italy’s notification, corrections to the amount of allowances to be allocated for the uplift of eligible fuels in 2024 to Italy should be made in accordance with Article 7 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723. (6) The notified changes to national aviation allocation tables are in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723. (7) In accordance with Article 6(5) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/723, the Commission aggregated the total demand for allowances for the years 2024 and 2025, calculated the remaining number of reserved allowances for 2025 and determined that the calculation of an allocation reduction factor is not necessary. (8) It is therefore appropriate to instruct the central administrator to enter the changes to allocation of allowances as notified by Member States into the Union Registry. HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Sole article The central administrator of the Union Registry is hereby instructed to enter changes to the national allocation tables of Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden for 2025 and of Italy for 2024, as set out in the Annex, into the Union Registry.
