Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3
(3) Tackling climate and other environmental-related challenges and reaching the objectives of the Paris Agreement are at the core of the European Green Deal. The value of the European Green Deal has only grown in light of the very severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and economic well- being of the Union’s citizens, the need to develop European policies promoting localism and the relocation of the most strategic industries.

Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) The CBAM seeks to 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. To ensure a gradual transition from the current system of free allowances to the CBAM, the CBAM should be progressively phased in while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased out. 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 229 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 55
(55) As the CBAM aims to encourage cleaner production processes, the EU stands ready to work with low and middle- income countries towards the de- carbonisation of their manufacturing industries. Moreover, the Union should support less developed countries with the necessary technical assistance in order to facilitate their adaptation to the new obligations established by this regulationse new resources should contribute to supporting the green transition of the European economy and the competitiveness of its exports. These resources should be channelled directly to Member States so they may be distributed using a sectoral approach in order to finance technological innovation and de- carbonisation efforts.
