CBAM will be effective in a transitional phase from 1st October 2023 – European Commission opens consultation on reporting obligations

  • The European Commission has called for views on the rules for implementing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) during the transitional phase from 1 October 2023 to the end of 2025.
  • The proposed regulation requires EU importers of CBAM goods to report emissions associated with their imports subject to the mechanism.
  • An interim methodology for calculating embedded emissions released during the production process of CBAM goods is also included.
  • During the transitional phase, importers can choose from three reporting methods, but from 1 January 2025, only the EU method will be accepted.
  • The Commission is developing tools and materials to support businesses during the transition, and importers will be required to submit their first report by the end of January 2024.
  • The Commission consulted with an informal group of experts, third countries, stakeholders, and industry representatives to ensure transparency in the CBAM implementation process.
