(11a) Installations under the EUETS facing a rising carbon price need long- term visibility, predictability and legal certainty to make their investment decisions. A clear pathway for the phase in of the remaining sectors and subsectors at risk of carbon leakage should therefore be established. This will strengthen the new legal framework to fight carbon leakage, provide the necessary time to ensure a smooth implementation of the CBAM and allow installations and companies to make the necessary investments in the decarbonisation of industrial processes in a stable and predictable legal context.

(15a) With a view to ensuring the ecological transition in the outermost regions is accompanied by economic and social cohesion, an impact assessment should be carried out before the end of the transition period on the potential economic and social impacts specific to these regions. The Commission must ensure compliance with Article 349 TFEU and propose appropriate measures for the outermost regions in implementing the CBAM, in particular because of the specific customs and tax arrangements that apply to the outermost regions.

(22a) The free allocation no longer provided to the CBAM sectors based on this calculation (CBAM demand) must be auctioned and the revenues will accrue to the Innovation Fund rebranded as a Net- Zero Fund, so as to support inter alia innovation in low carbon technologies, and in upscaling relevant technologies in a way that contributes to mitigating climate change consistently with the objectives set out by Regulation (EU)2021/1119. Special attention should be given to projects in CBAM sectors. To respect the proportion of the free allocation available for the non-CBAM sectors, the final amount to deduct from the free allocation and to be auctioned should be calculated based on the proportion that the CBAM demand represents in respect of the free allocation needs of all sectors receiving free allocation.

(54a) The Commission should actively pursue the establishment of an international “Carbon club” for ensuring continuous exchange in good faith with the Union’s trade partners. This should be an open non-exclusive international forum, which could be located under an appropriate multilateral organisation such as the WTO or the relevant and open body of the OECD for instance. Its objective should be to allow for the comparison and coordination of carbon pricing measures as well as non-carbon pricing measures with an impact on emission reduction. The Carbon club should also support the comparability of climate measures by ensuring the quality of climate monitoring, reporting and verification among its members. Membership of the club should be informal, open and on a voluntary basis for countries aiming at high climate ambition in line with the Paris Agreement. Given that the CBAM is a first-of-a-kind measure, which is meant to be a cooperative tool designed to fight carbon leakage, such a Carbon club will provide the means for engagement and transparency between the and its trade partners.
