Amending Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as regards simplifying and strengthening the carbon border adjustment mechanism (debate)
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today we are voting on the proposal to simplify the CBAM regulation, the tax that applies to carbon-intensive imported goods. It is yet another measure that seeks to modify insufficiently the disasters that you yourselves have generated, attached to a short-sighted ideology, that green. Your proposal makes it easier for small importers who cannot bear the current burden but still do not make the mechanism more economically sustainable. These provisions are the daughters of the ETS, the absurd tool designed by you to combat climate change and which represents a noose for the European production system. We need a complete break with the failure logic of the Green Deal: Enough with the absurd constraints you want to impose. let our companies breathe, let them grow, defend our jobs, relaunch European industry before a slow but unstoppable decline.
