Recital 55 a (new)
(55a) The carbon tax at the border is designed to prevent carbon leakage and curb greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, however, the potential effects on consumers and downstream businesses must always be closely monitored. It is important to avoid any pretext for an unreasonable increase in the carbon price and carbon tax. CBAM funding should not therefore be channelled into the EU budget as an own resource.
