The European Commission has released a call for views on the implementation of it’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) that starts it’s transitional phase from October 1 to 2025.
“In the CBAM’s transitional phase, traders will only have to report on the emissions embedded in their imports subject to the mechanism without paying any financial adjustment. This will give time for businesses to prepare and will provide the necessary information to fine-tune the definitive methodology by 2026”
