Reserve Price Phase III Auction Reserve Price The reserve price methodology is closely coordinated between the auction platform, the European Commission and the Member States and operationalizes Article 6 of the Auctioning Regulation: significantly under the price on the secondary market prevailing during and immediately before the bidding window when taking into account the short term volatility However, the reserve price as well as its underlying definitions are handled confidentially. This is in order to prevent any kind of manipulation or misconduct in the auctions, which could arise from the knowledge of this Methodology. 15
Cancelled Auctions Conditions for a Cancelled Auction The volume of all the bids at the close of the bidding window falls short of the total volume of auctioned allowances.
