This initiative aims to extend CBAM to some downstream products to reduce the risk of carbon leakage when downstream manufacturers relocate their production abroad. However, CBAM will increase both manufacturing costs and export costs for German and European companies. These costs can only be passed on to the consumer, resulting in a competitive disadvantage.
