Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
The sulphur compliance unit trading system for gasoline producers and importers has been renewed for the period 2026 to 2030, replacing the previous 2020–2025 window. Primary suppliers who want to participate in pool-average sulphur compliance and the trading system must submit their notices within 30 days of the amending regulation coming into force. Carried-over sulphur compliance units from the 2025 year-end balance may be rolled into 2026 under the same conditions that previously applied at the 2019-to-2020 transition. The deadline for retaining compliance books and records has been pushed out to December 31, 2036 (previously 2031), and suppliers who maintained records under the old 2020–2025 rules are grandfathered by transitional provisions that keep the prior rules alive for those earlier years.
