I would like to comment on a necessary adaptation of the ETS system with regards to future CBAM for cement (clinker) import in Europe. In our opinion, Europe should not create a situation where Europe cement companies are given free CO2 allowances, basically letting them pollute, and on the other hand enforce taxes on the same goods that are imported because they are polluting.

The European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET) welcomes the opportunity to provide our comments to the Commission consultation on updating the EU emissions trading system (ETS ). Our main messages are: 1. Reinforcing the role of the EU ETS as a key driver of a cost-effective decarbonisation of the EU economy. 2. Creating a pathway for a gradual expansion of the EU ETS. 3.

Cemminerals is a Belgian family owned cement company with a production plant in Gent and 10% market share in Belgium. We are implicated by the CBAM as part of our raw materials (cement clinker) are imported from outside Europe. As part of the European SME Cement Association (ESMECA), we strongly support the vision of CBAM: ensure that imported products face carbon costs equivalent to those born by EU producers.

Energy Traders Europe (ETE) represents more than 180 members active across European gas, electricity, carbon and associated markets. Our response below focuses on the operational workability of the CBAM platform and aims to ensure a secure, cost-efficient, transparent and predictable framework for the sale and repurchase of CBAM certificates.
