EU carbon border adjustment mechanism

Ve stručnosti 20-06-2022

The European Commission proposed a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which aims to level the playing field between EU and third-country producers by putting a carbon price on certain imported products, while phasing out free allocation of emissions allowances to European industry. The European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) adopted a report that puts forward significant amendments to the original proposal. The vote on the report was re-scheduled for the June II session.
