Administrator Event in all its glory “Administrator Event” means the suspension of some or all of the processes of a Registry or the EUTL in accordance with the Registries Regulation by the National Administrator or the Central Administrator (as applicable) due to: (a) a security breach or following reasonable suspicion of a breach of security which threatens the integrity of the registries system (including any back up facilities); or (b) scheduled or emergency maintenance on the Registry; or (c) the failure to operate and maintain the Registry in accordance with the Registries Regulation or any other applicable law. edit Comparison See our natty emissions comparison table between the IETA, EFET and ISDA versions of emissions trading docs Resources and Navigation Emissions trading documentation ISDA: EU Anatomy • EU Wikitext • EU Nutshell (premium) • UK Anatomy • UK Wikitext (to be merged into EU Anatomy) IETA: IETA Master Agreement • IETA Wikitext • IETA Nutshell (premium) EFET: EFET Allowances Appendix • EFET Allowances Wikitext • EFET Nutshell (premium) Index: Click ᐅ to expand: ISDA Emissions TOC EUA Annex - Premium Emissions Pro tip: for tons of information about EU ETS and EU financial services regulation see Michał Głowacki’s magnificent emissions-euets.com website.

ISDA: Administrator Event
IETA: Administrator Event
EFET: Administrator Event

Summary

edit

One of the things, along with a missing Registry Operation, that can prompt a Suspension Event. See our impassioned and, okay, possibly a little grumpy encomium to the shoddy drafting of the combined Carbon Squads in this regard in the Registry Operation page.

These are not the sorts of things that can affect “some but not all” of the Allowances in an account, so unless you are the sort of groover who warehouses your Allowances in Registries all around the EU, there being an event of this kind will put your whole Transaction into Suspension, not just part of it.

Note the ISDA version has added a fourth limb to deal with “linking agreements”, which the other versions may not yet have caught up with.
