Abstract:
The Commission’s task is to verify the legality of the national allocation plan while respecting the “margin for manoeuvre” granted to the Member State in the implementation of Directive 2003/87/EC in the context of the drawing up of that plan. Within this “margin of manoeuvre” Member States also have the right to choose the data and its method of evaluation (author’s headnote).
