Proposal for a directive
Article 6
1. Member States shall ensure, for the purposes of disclosure, that the origin of electricity produced from renewable energy sources, and of heating or cooling produced from renewable energy sources in plants with a capacity of at least 5 MWth, can be guaranteed as such within the meaning of this Directive according to objective, transparent and non- discriminatory criteria laid down by each Member State. To that end, Member States shall ensure that a guarantee of origin is issued in response to a request from a producer of renewable energy. A guarantee of origin shall be of the standard size of 1 MWh. No more than one guarantee of origin shall be issued in respect of each MWhunit of energy produced. 2. Guarantees of origin shall be issued, transferred and cancelled electronically. They shall bMember States may designate one or more competent bodies, independent of generation, trade, supply, and distribution activities, to supervise the issue of such guarantees of origin. 2. Member States or the competent bodie(s) shall put in place appropriate mechanisms to ensure that guarantees of origin are accurate, reliable and fraud- resistant. A guarantee of origin shall specify, at least: (a) the energy source from which the energy was produced and the starting and ending dates of its production; (b) whether the guarantee of origin relates to – (i) electricity; or – (ii) heating and/or cooling; (c) the identity, location, type and capacity of the installation where the energy was produced, and the date of the installation’s becoming operational; (d) the date and country of issue and a unique identification number; (e) the amount and type of any investment aid that has been given for the installation. A guarantee of origin shall serve to enable producers of electricity from renewable energy sources to demonstrate that the electricity they sell is produced from renewable energy sources within the meaning of this Directive. 3. Member States shall recognise guarantees of origin issued by other Member States in accordance with this Directive. Any refusal by a, exclusively as proof of the elements referred to in paragraph 2. A Member State may refuse to recognise a guarantee of origin shall be based on objective, transparent and non- discriminatory criteriaonly when it has well- founded doubts about its accuracy, reliability or veracity. The Member State shall share its information relating to these doubts with the Commission. Inf the event ofCommission finds that a refusal to recognise a guarantee of origin is misplaced, the Commission may adopt a Decision requiring the Member State in question to recognise it. 4. Member Statesthe guarantee of origin. If, however, the Commission finds the refusal of a guarantee of origin to be well-founded, other Member States may refuse to recognise similar guarantees of origin from the issuing Member State until the grounds for doubts on the accuracy, reliability or veracity are addressed adequately. 4. Member States or the competent bodie(s) shall ensure that all guarantees of origin to be issued in respect of renewable energy generated in a given calendar year are issued, at the latest, three months after the end of that year.

Article 7
Competent bodies and regisStatistical transfers between Member guarantees of origin Staters of 1. Each1. Member State shall designate a single competent body to undertake the following tasks: (a) establish and maintain a national register of guarantees of origin; (b) issue guarantees of origin; (c) record any transfer of guarantees of origin;s may make arrangements for the statistical transfer of a specified amount of energy from renewable sources to be transferred from one Member State to another Member State. The transferred quantity is to be: (da) cancel guarantees of origin; (e) publish an annual report on the quantities of guarantees of origin issued, transferred to or from each of the other competent bodies and cancelled. 2. The competent body shall not carry out any energy generation, trade, supply or distribution activities. 3. The national register of guarantees of origin shall record the guarantees of origin held by each person. A guarantee of origin shall only be held in one register at one timededucted from the amount of energy from renewable sources that is taken into account in measuring compliance by the Member State with the requirements of Article 3 concerning national targets; and (b) added to the amount of energy from renewable resources that is taken into account in measuring compliance by another Member State with the requirements of Article 3 concerning national targets. 2. Arrangements under paragraph 1 may have effect for one or more years, but must be notified to the Commission no later than 3 months after the end of the first year in which they take effect.
