Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Acknowledges that the primary purpose of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) must be to prevent unfair competition, to enable internationally effective carbon pricing schemes, to mitigate the leakage dilemma in the context of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and to prevent distortions to competition and trade; stresses that the CBAM will help the EU to meet its climate targets under European climate law while keeping a level playing field in international trade, with the aim of galvanising the rest of the world into taking climate action in line with Paris Agreement and limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5°C;
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Welcomes the fact that the CBAM, if used as a basis for an own resource, would bring the revenue side of the EU budget into closer alignment with strategic policy objectives such as the European Green Deal, the fight against climate change and the circular economy, and that it would thereby help to generate co- benefits, incentives and EU added value;.
