This part

‘Regulation (EU) 2023/956 should take due account of the special characteristics and constraints of the outermost regions of the Union, as referred to in Article 349 TFEU, linked to their remoteness, insularity, small size, topography and climate. In order to avoid disproportionate administrative and economic burdens, while preserving the integrity and environmental objectives of the CBAM, the Commission should be empowered to grant, on a duly reasoned request from the Member State concerned, a temporary and product-specific temporary derogation of the obligations laid down in that Regulation for operators established in outermost regions located more than 3 000 nautical miles from the European continent, having limited access to Union supply chains and which remain heavily dependent on imports from third countries for the supply of certain products covered by that Regulation. Any temporary derogation should be subject to a prior assessment by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, taking into account criteria such as the distance from the European continent, the specific conditions of supply, market size, logistical constraints, the risk of circumvention and the need to ensure a level playing field.’ without the words: ‘temporary and product-specific temporary’ and ‘located more than 3 000 nautical miles from the European continent’
