Proposal for a regulation

Regulation (EU) 2023/956
Article 2 – paragraph 2a
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (aa) 2a. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1 and 2, this Regulation shall not apply to goods subject to the temporary exemption laid down in this paragraph. Importations of cements falling under the Combined Nomenclature (‘CN’) codes […], which are released for free circulation in an outermost region of the Union within the meaning of Article 349 TFEU, may temporarily be exempted from the application of this Regulation when these territories are confronted with exceptional circumstances, such as natural disasters or similar public emergencies. The importation of cements and heavy construction materials falling under the Combined Nomenclature (‘CN’) codes […], in the case of Mayotte and la Réunion, may temporarily be exempted from the application of this Regulation when these territories are confronted with exceptional circumstances, such as natural disasters or similar public emergencies. Where a Member State intends to introduce such a temporary exemption in application of the first subparagraph in an outermost region, it shall notify the Commission and other Member States of its request by specifying the outermost region and the products among those mentioned in the first subparagraph covered by the exemption. The Member State shall also specify the exceptional circumstances referred to in the first subparagraph justifying it, its intended start and end dates, of application, and the intended measures to preserve the integrity of the CBAM and to limit new risks of circumvention. These intended measures shall ensure that the relevant goods are exclusively intended for local use in the outermost regions. The Commission shall examine the request notified by the Member State pursuant to the second subparagraph and assess the supporting reasons specified by the requesting Member State. The Commission may request additional information from the requesting Member State. Within six months of receiving all relevant and necessary information, the Commission shall take a decision on the request for exemption and notify all Member States. Where the Commission finds that the exemption would lead to substantial circumvention risks, or where the requested Member State has failed to provide the requested information, it shall refuse the exemption. Such decision shall provide the reasons for the refusal. Member States in which measures referred to in the first subparagraph are in force shall submit a report to the Commission assessing whether the exceptional circumstances referred to in the first subparagraph are still present and the impact of these measures on the flow of exempted goods from the relevant outermost regions. This report shall be submitted every year starting from the application start date. Where the Commission finds that the measure has led to cases of circumvention that would have not otherwise occurred, it shall, within six months after the relevant Member State has communicated this report, request this Member State to amend this measure to prevent circumvention. Where the Commission finds that the changes made by the Member State are insufficient to ensure the integrity of the CBAM, taking into account the reasons supporting the relevant measures, it shall require the Member State to terminate these measures within three months following the notification to the Member State. Where the Commission finds that the exceptional circumstances referred to in the first subparagraph have ceased to exist the exception has to be terminated within three months following the notification to the Member State. |
