>
> > (2) A scheme participant remedies a carried forward shortfall if the participant surrenders the number of certificates required for the carried forward shortfall.
>
> > (3) A scheme participant fails to remedy a carried forward shortfall if the participant does not surrender the number of certificates required for the carried forward shortfall.
>
> > (4) If a scheme participant fails to remedy a carried forward shortfall, the scheme participant must pay a penalty for the amount by which the carried forward shortfall exceeds the certificates surrendered by the scheme participant for the compliance period (the non-remedied amount).
>
> > (5) The penalty must be calculated as if the non-remedied amount were a shortfall for the compliance period to which the shortfall is carried forward.
>
> > (6) The penalty is payable in the same way as, and is taken to be, a shortfall penalty.
