Hinzugefügt: (27 b) Soda ash is a fundamental chemical compound that is used in a wide range of industrial processes, including the manufacturing of glass, chemicals, detergents and metallurgical operations. The production of soda ash is highly energy-intensive and, within the Union, is subject to stringent climate and energy legislation, notably the obligations under Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1a. Soda ash is imported from third countries with less stringent climate and energy legislation and significantly lower energy prices, which places Union producers of soda ash at a competitive disadvantage and risks encouraging carbon leakage. Therefore, the Commission should present, as part of its assessment referred to in Article 30 (2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 the possibility to extend the scope of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 to cover the soda ash sector. 1a Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2003/87/oj).
