Article 10 - paragraph 5
5. By 31 December0 June 2010, the Commission shall adopt a Regulation on timing, administration and other aspects of auctioning to ensure that it is conducted in an open, transparent, harmonised and non- discriminatory manner. Auctions shall be designed to restrict access to the “primary market” only to installations subject to the Community scheme and to limit the quantity of allowances acquired by them to their production capacity, and to that end ensure that operators, and in particular any small and medium size enterprises covered by the Community scheme, have full access and any other participants do not undermine the operation of the auction. That measure, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article [23(3)]It is also necessary to introduce a market- based instrument to prevent severe fluctuation of allowance prices and provide sustainability of macroeconomic surroundings. That measure shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty.
