We support the overall objective of CBAM as a tool to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods imported into the EU, to avoid carbon leakage, and to encourage cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries.

Key messages: 1. Publish default carbon prices as soon as possible - The Commission should publish the methodology and timeline for default carbon prices as soon as possible, especially for electricity imports that will largely rely on default values.

We ask the European Commission to: 1) Provide clarity on the carbon prices effectively paid in other countries before January 2026; 2) Apply CBAM discount to all electricity traded in a country with an existing carbon pricing mechanism; 3) Recognise complementary third countries carbon pricing mechanisms

We support the overall objective of CBAM as a tool to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods imported into the EU, to avoid carbon leakage, and to encourage cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries.

We underline the critical importance of Annex VI in unlocking the full potential of bioLNG in the EU. BioLNG represents one of the most, if not the most credible solution for decarbonising key hard-to-abate sectors, namely heavy and maritime transports.
