Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Proposes that the CBAM be implemented as an extension of complementary measure to the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS), which would require importers to purchase allowances from a specific virtual pool mirroring the EU carbon price, as long as third countries do not have a cap and trade system comparable to the EU ETS for the volume of carbon emissions incorporated in their products; notes that the mechanism should ensure a single carbon price, both for domestic producers and importers;

Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Urges that the proposed CBAM apply to all imports in order to avoid distortion in the internal marketConsiders that a CBAM should cover all imports, but that as a starting point already by 2023 it should cover the power sector and energy-intensive industrial sectors like cement, steel, chemicals and fertilisers, which continue to receive substantial free allocations, and still represent 94% of Union industrial emissions;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recommends that a design be introduced that measures the carbon content of imports through their basic materials composition (as outlined in the proposal from the European Economic and Social Committee); recalls that this feasible approximation would weigh each basic material covered by the EU ETS and multiply it by its carbon intensity value – which ideally should be defined at countryproducer level; stresses, however, that importers who are more carbon efficient should be allowed to demonstrate the specific carbon intensity of their products;

Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Requests that the implementation ofUntil at least 2030, the CBAM framework should be an additional measure to the existing carbon leakage measures under the EU ETS; if after 2030 global markets for carbon lean products are put in place, the CBAM shcould lead to the progressivegradual phasing out of the free allocation of allowances, following an appropriate transition period, since the mechanism; the mechanism intends to ensures that EU producers and importers would have to deal with the samesimilar carbon costs in the EU market; notes that this phasing out should be coupled in parallel with the introduction of export rebates in order to maintain strong decarbonisation incentives, while ensuring a level playing field for EU exports;
Amendment 85 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Calls for the inclusion of CBAM revenues into the EU budgetonsiders that the CBAM being an environmental measure, the revenues could be used to co-finance projects that foster technological and energetic transition as well as research on low- carbon projects and further projects in line with the Union`s environmental ambitions;
