Regulation (EU) No 1031/2010 is amended as follows:

(1)

after the second subparagraph of Article 10(2), the following subparagraphs are added:

The volume of allowances to be auctioned in a given year determined pursuant to the first or second subparagraphs of this paragraph in 2014-16 shall be reduced by the quantity of allowances for the respective year set out in the second column of the table in Annex IV to this Regulation.

Where in 2014 the volume of reduction set out in Annex IV cannot be spread over a period of more than 9 months it shall be decreased by 100 million allowances and thereafter by the same amount for each quarter of the year. In that case, the volumes of reduction for 2015 and 2016 shall be adjusted in equal instalments accordingly.

The volume of allowances to be auctioned in a given year determined pursuant to the first or second subparagraphs of this paragraph in 2019-20 shall be increased by the quantity of allowances for the respective year set out in the third column of the table in Annex IV to this Regulation.

In respect of Member States applying Article 10c of the Directive and without prejudice to the first sentence of Article 10c(2) of the Directive, the total quantity of allowances to be auctioned in a given year following the adjustment set out in the second column of the table in Annex IV to this Regulation shall not be lower than the quantity of allowances to be transitionally allocated free of charge to installations for electricity production in that same year.

If necessary, the total quantity of allowances to be auctioned in a given year in the period 2014-16 by a Member State applying Article 10c of the Directive shall be increased accordingly. To the extent that the total quantity of allowances to be auctioned is increased in accordance with the previous sentence, it shall subsequently be reduced to ensure that the distribution pursuant to the first subparagraph of this paragraph is complied with.
