Recital 10
Recital 10
(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, free allocation under the EU ETSand compensation for indirect emission costs under the EU ETS undermine the polluter-pays-principle and weakens the price signal that the system provides for the installations receiving it compared to full auctioning and thus affectheavily reduces the incentives for investment into further prevention and abatement of emissions.

(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 transitionswift change 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 traswiftly implemented and free allowances and indirect costs compensiational 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 in sectors covered by the CBAM phased out rapidly.

Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The CBAM should, when further developed, cover the most emission- intensive sectors. A further analysis must be carried out as soon as possible in order to include more sectors and raw materials in the instrument, including, but not limited to, industrially processed goods and production that drives deforestation.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) In order to help fulfilling the EU’s commitments in line with the Paris agreement revenues earned from the sale of CBAM certificates should be assigned to support the efforts of developing countries and countries in the Global South towards the de-carbonisation of their industries.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) In order to exclude from the CBAM third countries or territories fully integrated into, or linked, to the EU ETS in the event of future agreements, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending the list of countries in Annex II, Section A. Conversely, those third countries or territories should be excluded from the list in Annex II and be subject to CBAM whereby they do not effectively charge the ETS price on goods exported to the Union.

Amendment 536 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1
Article 1 – paragraph 1
1. This Regulation establishes a carbon border adjustment mechanism (the ‘CBAM’) for addressing greenhouse gas emissions embedded in the goods referred to in Annex I, upon their importation into the customs territory of the Union, in order to prevent the risk of carbon leakage and incentivise emissions reductions in sectors covered by this regulation in third countries and within the Union.

Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 28
(28) ‘indirect emissions’ mean greenhouse gas emissions from transport in relation to production of goods and from the production processes of electricity, heating and cooling, which is consumed during the production processes of goods.;
