Member States shall, where applicable, notify the Commission and the other Member States of their intention to adapt the rules for the application of the CBAM in one or more outermost regions falling within their jurisdiction, specifying the territories and products covered by the derogation. They shall also set out the reasons justifying the derogation, the intended date of application and the measures envisaged to protect local economies and avoid any adverse effects of the application of the CBAM on them. These measures shall ensure that the products covered by the derogation are intended for local use and processing in the outermost region concerned. The notification shall be made no later than three months before the intended date of application. The Member State shall submit a report to the Commission every three years assessing the impact that the application of the CBAM would have on the flows of exempted goods.
