Cessation of operations of an installation
Article 26
1. An installation is deemed to have ceased operations where any of the following conditions is met: (a) the relevant greenhouse gas emissions permit has been withdrawn, including if the installation no longer meets the thresholds of the activities listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC; (b) the installation is no longer operating and it is technically impossible to resume operation. 2. Where an installation has ceased operation, the Member State concerned shall not issue emission allowances to it as of the year following the cessation of operations. 3. Member States may suspend the issuance of the emission allowances to installations that have suspended operations as long as it is not established whether they will resume operations.
