Enforcement: UK enforces ETS obligations

The UK Environment Agency has fined 4 companies for failing to meet ETS obligations.

4 companies out of 535 in England and Wales failed to surrender sufficient carbon dioxide allowances by the due date to cover their emissions. This is the cornerstone of the scheme. As such they are liable to automatic civil penalties."

The companies are Alphasteel, Scandstick, Daniel Platt, and Mars (UK) (trading as Masterfoods). They have been issued with a combined total of €1,127,840 (£758,810.73) in civil penalties.
