Ajouté: (4a) The outermost regions of the Union, in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, are characterised by permanent structural constraints, in particular their remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, as well as their economic dependence on a small number of products, which considerably limit their development. Owing to these constraints, these regions rely heavily on imports from neighbouring third countries for their supplies. The uniform application of the carbon border adjustment mechanism to these goods, particularly in the absence of any risk of circumvention, is likely to result in disproportionate additional costs for the local economy, thereby jeopardising the achievement of the Union’s objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion. Provision should therefore be made for a Member State to request an exemption from the application of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 for certain goods imported into an outermost region and intended for local use.
