(3) Article 28a(2) of Directive 2003/87/EC required Member States to publish the number of aviation allowances allocated to each aircraft operator for the years 2017-2023 before 1 September 2018. (4) Accordingly, Member States calculated and notified to the Commission the number of aviation allowances allocated to each aircraft operator for the years 2017-2020, and the Commission, by its Decision C(2017)2301 (5), instructed the central administrator of the European Union Transaction Log to upload the corresponding national aviation allocation tables into the European Union Transaction Log. The Union Registry functionality did not permit at the time to upload National Aviation Allocation Tables for years after 2020.

(8) It is therefore necessary to revise the number of aviation allowances allocated to each aircraft operator for the years 2021-2023 and upload the corresponding national aviation allocation tables into the European Union Transaction Log.
