On April 25, 2023, the EU Council approved the implementation of the carbon tax border mechanism (CBAM) and changes to the emissions trading system (ETS).
The EU Council approved the following solutions from the “Fit for 55 in 2030” package:

The rules will be published in the Official Journal of the EU and will enter into force 20 days later.
