(c) results of investigations and penalties imposed; Added: In Article 30, the following paragraph is added: ‘8b. By 31 December 2028, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the impacts of extending the scope of this Regulation to cover downstream goods. The following shall be quantified in this report: (a) the compliance costs incurred by Union importers and manufacturers that use imported intermediate inputs, whereby a distinction should be made between certification costs and administrative costs, and whereby the costs incurred by small and medium-sized enterprises should be determined; (b) the impacts of the extension on prices for the relevant goods in the internal market and on production and employment in the Union sectors that use these goods; (c) the actual carbon costs incurred by the manufacturers of the relevant goods in the Union compared to those incurred by their competitors in the People’s Republic of China, the United States of America, India, Brazil, the Russian Federation and the Member States of the Gulf Cooperation Council; (d) in the absence of adjustments for exports, the vulnerability of Union manufacturers that export the relevant goods to third-country markets. If the report identifies significant additional costs, losses in relation to competitiveness, production or employment, disproportionate administrative burdens, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises, or disadvantages for Union exporters, the Commission shall enclose with the report a legislative proposal with a view to suspending, restricting or reversing the extension of the scope of this Regulation to cover downstream goods. For all measures proposed in response to such findings, the macroeconomic impacts of the CBAM on Union industry and international competitiveness must be taken fully into consideration.’
