Amendment 97 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) The CBAM seeks to gradually replace these existing mechanisms by addressing the risk of carbon leakage in a different way, namely by ensuring equivalent carbon pricing for imports and domestic products and by ensuring that EU export products are not replaced by more carbon intensive products, which would undermine the objective of reducing global emissions. To ensure a gradual transition from the current system of free allowances to the CBAM while preserving EU competitiveness, the CBAM should be progressively phased in while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased outgradually phased out after an assessment by the Commission has proven that the regulation is effective in protection from the risk of carbon leakage for both imports and exports. The gradual phase-out of free allowance is essential to ensure a just transition for energy- intensive sectors. The combined and transitional application of EU ETS allowances allocated free of charge and of the CBAM should in no case result in more favourable treatment for Union goods compared to goods imported into the customs territory of the Union.

Amendment 146 #

Amendment 207 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 52
(52) The Commission should evaluate the application of this Regulation before the endstart of the transitional periodremoval of free allowances in ETS and report to the European Parliament and the Council. The report of the Commission should in particular focus on possibilities to enhance climate actions towards the objective of a climate neutral Union by 2050. The Commission should, as part of that evaluation, initiate collection of information necessary to possibly extend the scope to indirect emissions, as well as to other goods and services at risk of carbon leakage, and to develop methods of calculating embedded emissions based on the environmental footprint methods47 . _________________ 47 Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU of 9 April 2013 on the use of common methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations (OJ L 124, 4.5.2013, p. 1).

Amendment 469 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 30 – paragraph 1
1. The Commission shall collect, in consultation with the relevant stakeholders, the information necessary with a view to extending the scope of this Regulation to indirect emissions and goods other than those listed in Annex I, and develop methods of calculating embedded emissions based on environmental footprint methods.

Amendment 478 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 30 – paragraph 2
2. Before the endstart of the transitional periodremoval of free allowances under ETS, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of this Regulation and assess if the conditions are in place for the effective implementation of a CBAM before phasing out free allocation. The report shall contain, in particularaddition, the assessment of the possibilities to further extend the scope of embedded emissions to indirect emissions and to other goods at risk of carbon leakage than those already covered by this Regulation, as well as an assessment of the governance system. It shall also contain the assessment of the possibility to further extend the scope to embedded emissions of transportation services as well as to goods further down the value chain and services that may be subject to the risk of carbon leakage in the future.
