Your application is reviewed by the Competent Authority. If your permit application is successful, the Competent Authority creates a new Installation Operator user and associates the new user to your Installation.

Once the new Installation Operator user is assigned, ETSWAP sends an Invitation to the email address given on the application form. The Invitation contains a link to ETSWAP and a temporary Password and PIN for one-time use.

6. Log on to ETSWAP, change your Password and PIN , then start using ETSWAP.

User and data administration

User administration

When an Aviation Operator or an Installation Operator is first registered with ETSWAP, the Competent Authority identifies a named individual within the organisation as an operator user who is assigned initial administrator permissions. Thereafter, it is the responsibility of this individual to establish other operator users for the organisation as necessary, and to assign the appropriate permissions.

Data administration

When an Installation Operator is registered with ETSWAP, the data from existing ETS forms is automatically uploaded into ETSWAP. It is strongly recommended that Installation Operator users should check the data in the new ETSWAP forms to ensure that it is correct.

Welcome to ETSWAP help

These pages provide information about every page of the ETSWAP web site. The links on this page open a separate browser in which help information about each page can be seen within context.

Help is also provided by ? buttons beside certain fields on the forms presented by ETSWAP as you work. The page and button help are context-sensitive, which means that the help information for the page or form that you are using opens when you click a ? button or seek help on a web page.

ETSWAP provides context-sensitive online help:

• The Help button on the Welcome page provides general help information.
• When you log on as an Aviation Operator user, you can open context-sensitive help about all the web pages available to Aviation Operators.
• When you log on as an Installation Operator user, you can open context-sensitive help about all the web pages available to Installation Operators.
• When you log on as a Verifier user, you can open context-sensitive help about all the web pages available to Verifiers assigned to Aviation Operator and Installation Operator activities.
• When you log on as a Competent Authority user, you can open context-sensitive help about all the web pages in ETSWAP.

GLOSSARY AND REFERENCES

ABOUT THE EU ETS

The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is the European Union (EU) cap and trade scheme for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by Aviation and Installation Operators. Installations includes industries, such as production and processing of ferrous metals, mineral industries, and pulp and paper industries.

The EU has set a cap on total amount of emissions allowed from all the installations. The allowances are then distributed to all the installations in the scheme. The operators may use all or part of their allocation of free allowances to surrender against their reportable emissions. If the operator emits more CO2 than their allocation of free allowances, they have the flexibility to buy allowances from the market to cover the deficit. Conversely, where an operator emits less than their allocation of free allowances, they can sell the surplus allowances to other operators.

In the United Kingdom, the EU ETS is the responsibility of:

ABOUT ETSWAP

EU ETS Directive 2003/87/EC requires Aviation Operators and Installation Operators to participate in the EU ETS.

Purpose of ETSWAP

ETSWAP is the EA's web-based, greenhouse gas emissions planning, reporting and management tool. It calculates the annual emissions of Aviation and Installation Operator from data entered into the system by corresponding operator.

Users of ETSWAP

Competent Authorities (CA) - the EA, the SEPA, the NIEA, NRW, and BEIS, who have the responsibility of maintaining, and ensuring compliance with the EU ETS within their jurisdiction.

Aviation Operators - all aircraft operators assigned to the United Kingdom, whose aircraft arrive and/or depart from any aerodrome within the jurisdictions of the Competent Authorities at any time during an emissions trading reporting year.

Installation Operators - all installation operators assigned to the United Kingdom, who have their installation setup within the jurisdiction of the Competent Authorities.

Verifiers - independent professional organisations formally accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to conduct verification reviews of emissions reports submitted by Aviation and Installation Operators.

The users of ETSWAP comprise three main categories:

Aviation Operator users - individuals employed by Aviation Operators, with the responsibility of creating and submitting annual emissions monitoring reports.

Installation Operator Users - individuals employed by the Installation Operators, with the responsibility of creating and submitting Annual Emission reports.

Verifier users - individuals employed by a Verifier, with the responsibility of reviewing and formally approving the monitoring reports submitted by the Aviation Operators and Installation Operators.

Competent Authority users - individuals employed by a Competent Authority, with multiple responsibilities.

The responsibilities of CA users include:

Reviewing and approving monitoring reports.
Managing emissions reporting periods.
Managing ETSWAP users within their jurisdiction.
Managing communications between ETSWAP users.
Managing non-compliances and subsequent penalties imposed on Aviation Operators who fail to comply with the regulatory requirements of the EU ETS.
Inspecting Aviation Operators and Installation Operators.

Automatic ETSWAP functions

ETSWAP monitors all user activity and performs a number of automatic functions in response to various conditions. These system functions run in background but become visible to users when ETSWAP updates work queues and tasks, issues alerts, sends emails and letters, and displays messages in response to system events.

Alert management

An alert is a message displayed by ETSWAP. When an alert is triggered, ETSWAP selects an alert message from a set of templates, based on the condition that triggered the alert. Data merging is performed if necessary, and the alert is sent to the recipients defined by the alert trigger. The alert appears on the homepage of the affected users the next time they log on to ETSWAP.

Emails

ETSWAP sends emails to a pre-determined, configurable, list of recipients in response to user/application actions. When triggered, ETSWAP selects an email format from a set of templates, based on the event that triggered the email. The fields of the email are populated with context-correct data and the email is then sent to the recipients defined by the trigger.

Letters

ETSWAP creates letters in response to user/application actions. When triggered, ETSWAP selects a letter format from a set of templates, based on the event that triggered the letter. Mail merge fields of the letter are populated with context-correct data and the letter is then stored for later dispatch.

Form validation

ETSWAP applies strict validation rules to its web-based forms and informs users of any errors detected in the form. Validation is performed in response to an event, such as the submission of a monitoring report. During validation, the entire form is checked to ensure that all mandatory fields have been completed and the value of each field is correct in accordance with its validation rule. ETSWAP then displays status indicators where appropriate.

If a validation check fails, or if a mandatory field has not been completed, ETSWAP displays the first affected section of the form to the user, with all errors in that section listed and/or highlighted.

If the form was being validated as part of another process (e.g. submission), successful validation allows the process to continue.

Permissions check

When a user attempts any action, ETSWAP analyses the action and checks that the user's role includes the permission necessary to perform the action. If the permission is correct, the action is permitted: if not, the action is prevented and the user is informed accordingly.

Audit log

ETSWAP detects and logs events that require subsequent auditing. Details such as the name of the user, the auditable action taken, and the date and time of the event are written to the server's audit log.

Event log

ETSWAP detects and logs exceptional events such as loss of connectivity to its database. When an exceptional event occurs, the details are captured, categorised, and written to the server's event log.

Configuration control

ETSWAP creates new versions of monitoring reports by automatically incrementing the version number of the report each time it is submitted. The new version may be minor or major, depending upon the workflow.

NAVIGATING AND USING ETSWAP

The web pages of ETSWAP comprise seven groups:

• Common pages - such as Log on, Terms & Conditions, etc.
• Aviation Emitter user pages - generally available to Aviation Emitter users.
• Installation Emitter user pages - generally available to Installation Emitter users.
• Aviation Verifier user pages - includes Aviation Verifier user pages.
• Installation Verifier user pages - includes Installation Verifier user pages.
• Aviation Competent Authority user pages - includes Aviation Competent Authority user pages only.
• Installation Competent Authority user pages - includes Installation Competent Authority users pages only.

Instructions for use

All ETSWAP pages include information on the purpose of the page and detailed instructions for its use. Similarly, all sections and fields of ETSWAP forms include detailed instructions for use. Follow the section and field instructions to complete the forms.

Basic architecture of ETSWAP

The many functions of ETSWAP are realised by standard arrays of pages.

• All users have a Homepage which provides access to the user's Work Queue, and then to new or unfinished tasks that the user is required to perform.

General page navigation features

There is a tab at the top of each open ETSWAP page. If more than one page is open, click a tab to view another page.

Each page has a zoom function indicated by three, upper-case A characters of different sizes. Click an A character to increase or decrease the screen resolution of the web browser.

Navigation Menu

This appears on the upper-left corner of many pages. It contain links to all the functions available to the user from that page, depending upon the activity in which the user is engaged (i.e. the Navigation Menu is context-sensitive).

Pop-up menu

Right-click on any page or form section to open a conventional web page pop-up menu. Options that are not available are greyed out.

Getting help

Click Help at the upper-right corner of the page to open ETSWAP's help information. Certain fields of the ETSWAP forms offer additional help by means of the ? button.

Logout

Use the Logout button at the upper-right corner of the page to log out as a user of ETSWAP. This restores the Log on page so that you, or another user, can log on again when required.

Form navigation

All ETSWAP forms have a section menu at the upper-right corner of the form. The menu provides immediate access to the other sections of the form.

There is also an Accessible Version link at the upper-right corner of all form pages. The link offers the option to open a screen-optimised version of the form for enhanced visibility (but with a slower response).

When working on a form section, use the Tab key to move downward from field to field in the conventional manner.
