Surrendering ERUs and CERs suspended

The European Commission has announced today that the process for surrendering allowances, ERUs and CERs is suspended until the application of the new rules in the amended Registries Regulation, except for the period between 19 April 2010, 8:00 CEST and 1 May 2010, 8:00 CEST (see EC statement).
This allows for an appropriate time period for the surrender of allowances or credits by operators for compliance with 2009 emissions by the 30 April 2010 deadline, while protecting the integrity of the European carbon market.
