Proposal for a regulation

Recital 29 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
	(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.
