(10) Existing mechanisms to address the risk of carbon leakage in sectors or sub- sectors at risk of carbon leakage are the transitional free allocation of EU ETS allowances and financial measures to compensate for indirect emission costs incurred from GHG emission costs passed on in electricity prices respectively laid down in Articles 10a(6) and 10b of Directive 2003/87/EC. However,Whilst free allocation under the EU ETS weakens the price signal that the system provides for the installations receiving it compared to full auctioning and thus affects the incentives for investment into further abatement of emissions, they simultaneously safeguard the competitiveness of European companies, products and services on the global market during a transition period.

(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 CBAMprevent carbon leakage, the CBAM should be progressively phased in, while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased outfully maintained in a transitional period. The combined and transitional application of EU ETS allowances allocated free of charge and of the CBAM should in no casewill not result in more favourable treatment for Union goods compared to goods imported into the customs territory of the Union.

(13) As an instrument to prevent carbon leakage and reduce GHG emissions the CBAM should ensure that imported products are subject to a regulatory system that applies carbon costs equivalent to the ones that otherwise would have been borne under the EU ETS. The CBAM is a climate measure which should prevent the risk of carbon leakage and support the Union’s increased ambition on climate mitigation, while ensuring WTO compatibility. To this end, CBAM must also safeguard the continued competitiveness of exported goods. A loss of European products’ market share in third countries causing carbon leakage would contravene the aim of the mechanism.

Amendment 212 #
(53) In light of the above, a dialogue with third countries should continue and tat the WTO to set global, non-discriminatory, transparent and enforceable rules on CO2-pricing as well as to prevent trade conflicts should commence as soon as possible. In particular, a rapid agreement on the legal status of non-discriminatory climate measures is needed to prevent the clash of normative frameworks and future trade conflicts. There should be space for cooperation and solutions that could inform the specific choices that will be made on the details of the design of the measure during the implementation, in particular during the transitional period.
