(36) Conversely, this Regulation should not apply to certain products whose production does not entail meaningful emissions like ferrous scrap (under CN code 7204), and ferro-alloys (CN code 7202) and certain fertilisers (under CN code 3105 60 00).

Recital 50 a (new)
(50a) The inclusion of some basic products in the CBAM, such as fertilisers, will have a significant impact on European downstream sectors. However, given the impact of additional costs on the competitiveness of European economic sectors, including the farming sector, a risk of carbon leakage cannot be immediately ruled out. It seems appropriate to propose that the revenue from the CBAM be used as earmarked revenue in the EU budget with a view to offsetting both the cost of setting the mechanism up and the removal of free allowances, and to helping to finance transitional measures for European economic sectors whose competitiveness will be affected. The Commission should be empowered to set the arrangements for such a mechanism.

Recital 52
(52) The Commission should evaluate the application of this Regulation before the end of the transitional period and report to the European Parliament and the Council. The report of the Commission should in particular focus on possibilities to enhance climate actions towards the objective of a climate neutral Union by 2050. The Commission should, as part of that evaluation, initiate collection of information necessary to possibly extend the scope to indirect emissions, as well as to certain agricultural and food products and other goods and services at risk of carbon leakage, and to develop methods of calculating embedded emissions based on the environmental footprint methods47. _________________ 47Commission Recommendation 2013/179/EU of 9 April 2013 on the use of common methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations (OJ L 124, 4.5.2013, p. 1).

Recital 52 a (new)
(52a) In an effort to tackle sustainable development issues, particularly climate change, which are matters of global concern, the EU has been steadily raising its standards for many years. The Green Deal and farm to fork strategy may further raise standards in the EU with a view to achieving those goals. European farming sectors will therefore face carbon leakage to countries with less stringent climate requirements. As a result, the question of extending the scope of the CBAM to certain agricultural and agri- food products at risk of carbon leakage needs to be considered on the basis of information gathered during the transition period. The inclusion of agricultural and agri-food products in the scope of the CBAM is all the more important because the farming sector is likely to be both directly and indirectly affected by the inclusion of other products used as inputs that will affect its production costs.

Article 30 – paragraph 2
2. Before the end of the transitional period, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of this Regulation.

The report shall contain as well as an assessment of the governance system. It shall also contain the assessment of the possibility to further extend the scope to embedded emissions of transportation services as well as to goods further down the value chain and services that may be subject to the risk of carbon leakage in the future.
