The VET entry per 31^st March, meaning the annual reporting of previous year's emissions to the EU, rigorously went wrong for 63 stationary German operators as well as for 10 airlines being registered in Germany. Moreover, their register accounts have been blocked for the moment as Doctor Schütz, the register account's line manager of the German Emissions Trading Authority DEHSt confirmed towards Emissionshändler.com® on 4^th April, 2016.*
According to article 35 (2) of the EU Register regulation 389/2013, the emissions of the previous year have to be reported to the EU register by means of a so-called VET entry until end of March, enabling the EU to obtain a complete overview of all emissions of all EU operators, thus achieving the position to make internal calculations and controls.
The list of verified emissions having been published 1^st April 2016 at noon now exposes surprising insight in how far also German enterprises failed to obey this deadline dictated by the law.Discovering who disobeyed the deadline became possible because the EU register identifies all emission values that have not been registered in time. On this way enterprise data can be recognized. If the data are double checked in the EU-Registry by means of the “permit number”, the violations are shown there, too, and the most relevant data of the enterprise (including possible infringements of previous years) are completely recognisable.

We are basing our report on the correctness of EU statements as per 1^st April 2016, probable mistakes from part of the EU organs on elaboration of the list could not be verified, neither could the question if enterprises listed completed the VET entry within the following days or in the further course.
