In re Cerámica Dolores García Bazataqui S.L.: Judgment No. 3421/2009 of May 29, 2009 Pays/Territoire Espagne Date Mai 1, 2009 Source UNEP, InforMEA Nom du tribunal Supreme Court of Spain Siège de la cour Administrative Litigation Division Numéro de référence Appeal No. 303/2005 Résumé Cerámica Dolores García Bazataqui S.L. brought suit challenging the decision of the Council of Ministers of Spain of January 21, 2005 that declared the individual assignment of emissions allowances for the 2005-2007 term. Cerámica was assigned 18,051 annual credits, instead of the 29,023.76 it had requested. It argued that the assignment of credits was done in violation of provisions in Royal Decree 1866/2004 of September 6, 2004, which required consideration of increased production capacity prior to a certain date in order to determine acceptable emissions levels and the corresponding assignment of credits. The Court rejected this argument and dismissed the petition, as the record reflected that the Administration had adequately taken these factors into account.Key environmental legal questions:Challenge to individual assignment of credits Texte intégral Spain-Ceramica-Dolores-No-3421-2009.pdf Site web climatecasechart.com
