Recital 10
(10) Where equivalent measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in particular taxation, are in place for small installations whose emissions do not exceed a threshold of 1025 000 tonnes of CO2 per year, there should be a procedure for enabling Member States to exclude such small installations from the emissions trading system for so long as those measures are applied. These small installations should however be allowed to remain within the Community scheme. This threshold relatively offers the maximum gain in terms of reduction of administrative costs for each tonne excluded from the system, for reasons of administrative simplicity. As a consequence of the move from five-year allocation periods, and in order to increase certainty and predictability, provisions should be set on the frequency of revision of greenhouse gas emission permits.

Article 27 - paragraph 1
Article 27 - paragraph 1
1. Member States may exclude, from the Community scheme, combustion installations which have a rated thermal input below 250MW, reported emissions to the competent authority of less than 1025 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in each of the preceding 3 years, and which are subject to measures that will achieve an equivalent contribution to emission reductions, if the Member State concerned complies with the following conditions: (a) it notifies the Commission of each such installation, specifying the equivalent measures that are in place, (b) it confirms that monitoring arrangements are in place to assess whether any installation emits 1025 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year; (c) it confirms that if any installation emits 1025 000 tonnes or more of carbon dioxide equivalent, excluding emissions from biomass, in any one calendar year or the equivalent measures are no longer in place, the installation will be re-introduced into the system; (d) it publishes the information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) for public comment.
