Offline reporting of consignments put on market will not be allowed on UDB as this defeats the purpose of UDB from traceability point of view and will lead to double counting/ irregularities. EO would have the report of all consignments put for consumption by final fuel suppliers on real time basis. Additionally an annual report can be extracted by both EO and the Member states for sustainable fuel. |
