Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 17
Regulation (EU) 2023/956
Article 27a
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The Commission shall monitor the situation at Union level with a view to monitoring the impact of the CBAM on the Union internal market. Where the Commission, taking into account the relevant evidence, considers that the inclusion of a good in Annex I causes severe harm to the Union internal market due to serious and unforeseen circumstances related to the impact on the prices of goods, it is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 28 to remove this good from Annex I until those serious and unforeseeable circumstances have passed.; | The Commission shall continuously monitor the situation at Union level with a view to assessing the impact of the CBAM on the Union internal market. Where the Commission, taking into account the relevant evidence, considers that the inclusion of a good in Annex I causes severe harm to the Union internal market due to serious and unforeseen circumstances, including by disrupting supply chains or distorting price formation, and that less intrusive measures would not be appropriate, it shall adopt, informing the European Parliament and the Council thereof, an implementing act to initiate the procedure for a temporary exemption in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 29(2) of this Regulation. |
| 2. When proposing the implementing act referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall lay down, those serious and unforeseen circumstances and their impact on the Union internal market, gathering and evaluating any necessary information, including relevant and objective evidence provided by third parties and using the following criteria: | |
| (a) a sustained price increase (without taking into account the CBAM financial liability), where the average import price expressed in constant prices of a good for which the EU has import dependency has increased by more that 50% compared to the average import price of the same CBAM good over the previous ten years; and | |
| (b) for a price increase to be sustained, it should be observed over a period of at least six months. | |
| 3. When proposing the implementing act referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Commission shall specify appropriate measures to compensate the sector producing the good referred to in that paragraph for any negative effects resulting from its temporary exemption from this Regulation. Such measures shall include the temporary removal of the sector concerned from Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC (ETS) for the corresponding period or, alternatively, an additional allocation of free allowances to the sector concerned, as well, as other measures, as appropriate. |
Or. en
Justification
A safeguard mechanism is necessary to address serious and unforeseen market disruptions where the application of CBAM risks aggravating supply shortages or exceptional price increases. Any temporary exemption should be accompanied by appropriate measures to protect affected EU producers from a resulting competitive disadvantage.
