Hinzugefügt: (14a) The extension of the scope of the CBAM to cover downstream goods is a response to distortions caused by the CBAM itself: as a result of the imposition of carbon costs on imported basic materials, the mechanism has placed Union manufacturers of goods manufactured from these basic materials at a disadvantage compared to importers of finished goods. Any further extension of the scope would correct the distortions caused by the previous extension, but at the same time impose an additional cost and administrative burden on the Union businesses – first and foremost importers – which incur these costs. In 2024, the Union was responsible for 5.95% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It therefore has a particular interest in ensuring that measures to prevent the offshoring of carbon emissions do not themselves become the root cause of the very loss of industrial activities they are intended to prevent. Priority should be given to reducing the financial and administrative burdens imposed by the existing mechanism.
