Overview

edit

The definition of Administrator Event is more or less the same in all three emissions trading documentation regimes. Compare:
ISDA: Administrator Event
IETA: Administrator Event
EFET: Administrator Event
In the ISDA EU Emissions Annex Administrator Event - has been updated in version 7 to contemplate linking to non-EU member state emissions trading schemes where contemplated by the EU Emissions delegated regulations. Expect the other versions to follow suit.

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.
