Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to simplify and strengthen the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which targets imports of certain goods from outside the EU. The proposal introduces a de minimis exemption for imports below 50 tonnes, relieving around 90% of importers from CBAM obligations while still covering about 99% of total embedded emissions. It also streamlines the authorisation process for declarants, simplifies emission calculation procedures, and improves management of CBAM-related financial liabilities. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and instructs its President to forward the position to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.
