ETS Compliance Data In Useable Format?

I would like to have a panel dataset with for each year the ETS system existed:
– all firms that handed in too little ETS rights for their emissions
– the number of EST rights they were short
– (nice to have: sector and country)

This data is available at https://ec.europa.eu/clima/ets/allocationComplianceMgt.do?languageCode=en, but the format is really poor. To create a panel, I would need to select each country individually, select years one by one, export the compliance data and add all resulting csv files together. Using a webscrapper this should be doable maybe, but I haven’t done that before.

Companies not handing in enough ETS (and hence being fined) are identified by compliance status “B”. The number of rights they are short can be calculated based on the tables too.

My question is if anybody maybe knows if there is a more accessible version of this data available online. Or maybe someone already scrapped the database? Any leads are appreciated.
