   Ajouté: (29 a) It is necessary to ensure effective implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and to address the remaining regulatory loopholes, which result in circumvention of the established rules and, in consequence, put European production at risk of competitive disadvantage. It is therefore necessary to address the regulatory loopholes, through strict oversight and monitoring of CBAM application, in order to ensure a level playing field between European producers of CBAM goods and third country producers and effectively reduce global emissions.

   Ajouté: (27 a) Coking coal is a critical raw material of strategic importance for European industry, which underpins the green and digital transition. Listed under Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a, coking coal is of a strategic importance for the overall Union economy, and therefore its internal European production should be promoted. Imports of coking coal from third countries with less stringent environmental legislation in place negatively impact the European domestic production of coking coal and places European producers at a competitive disadvantage and risks undermining Union's climate and industrial objectives. In order to ensure the level playing field between the European production of coking coal and its imports from third countries, the Commission should present, as part of its assessment referred to in Article 30(2) the possibility to extend the scope of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 to cover the coking coal sector. 1a Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 April 2024 establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials and amending Regulations (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1724 and (EU) 2019/1020 (OJ L 1252, 3.5.2024, p.1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1252/2024-05-03).

   Ajouté: (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).

   Ajouté: (23 a) in Article 30, paragraph 2 is amended as follows: (a) the first subparagraph is replaced by the following: 'Before the end of the transitional period referred to in Article 32, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the application of this Regulation. The report shall be accompagnied by a legislative proposal.' (b) the second subparagraph, point (a)(iii), is replaced by the following: '(iii) goods at risk of carbon leakage other than those listed in Annex I, and specifically organic chemicals, polymers, soda ash and coking coal';

   Ajouté: (1 a) Union industries exporting goods that fall within the scope of the CBAM are not compensated for the high and constantly increasing costs incurred by the EU ETS or protected from possible retaliatory measures imposed by trading partners. In the context of the comprehensive review, the Commission will introduce an export adjustment mechanism, address the issue of circumventing measures, and guarantee that CBAM exporters are protected from third countries' retaliatory measures.

   Déposé par Filip Turek, Silvia Sardone, Ondřej Knotek +6 · PfE

   Ajouté: (1 b) The Union is the only major region in the world to have introduced a significant price on CO2, but the incentive effect of such a carbon pricing on trading partners has not been clearly demonstrated. The introduction of the CBAM is causing concerns among Union economic actors, particularly the energy-intensive industries already pressured by the Union's excessive environmental legislation. In the context of the comprehensive review, the Commission will remove the phase-out of the free allowances under the EU ETS if a level playing field is not ensured.

    Ajouté: (1 c) The CBAM has been introduced to compensate the effect of the EU ETS in order to address carbon leakage. As currently designed, the CBAM will not ensure a level playing field. For those reasons, the Commission will review the EU ETS and the CBAM by the end of 2025 for a potential deletion of these two measures.

    Ajouté: (27 b) Revenues generated from the application of the CBAM shall not be allocated to the general budget of the Union. Those revenues shall remain under the responsibility of the Member States where they are collected and shall be used exclusively for domestic purposes, in particular to support industries and sectors most affected by the Union's environmental policies.

    Ajouté: (1 a) The structural issues threatening the aluminium industry continue to be unadressed making the CBAM an ineffective tool for preventing carbon leakage in the aluminium sector, and creating substantial problems for the European aluminium supply chain — a highly energy-intensive and complex industry that operates as a price-taker in extremely competitive global markets, where Europe relies on imports for more than half of its needs. It is therefore necessary to suspend the implementation of the CBAM final phase and the phasing-out of free allowances for the aluminium sector until solutions are adopted in the future review of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 which fully assess the competitiveness of the aluminium sector.

    Ajouté: (1 b) To avoid unfair competitivity for exporters of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2023/956, ETS free allocations and indirect cost compensation should be maintained at current levels.
