CBAM tri­logues: European industry and trade uni­ons call for a broad scope extension

The European Foundry Fed­er­a­tion has signed a joint state­ment, together with European industry asso­ci­ations and the European trade union indus­tri­All, call­ing on the European Par­lia­ment, Coun­cil and Com­mis­sion to agree on the broad­est pos­sible exten­sion of the Car­bon Bor­der Adjust­ment Mech­an­ism (CBAM) to down­stream products.

As free allow­ances under the EU ETS are pro­gress­ively phased out, products left out­side the CBAM scope risk being replaced by imports or relo­cated to third coun­tries without equi­val­ent car­bon costs.

The sig­nat­or­ies ask EU insti­tu­tions to put European indus­trial pro­duc­tion, invest­ments and qual­ity jobs at the centre of the final agree­ment.
