- The European Parliament has approved adjustments to the CBAM, introducing a 50-ton threshold per importer per year and delaying certificate purchases from 2026 to 2027. The changes aim to focus CBAM obligations on large emission flows, providing relief for small importers while maintaining the instrument’s climate impact. The Council’s approval is still required. The new rules will take effect three days after publication in the Official Journal. Companies with low annual CBAM goods may fall below the threshold and be exempt from obligations, while others will face clearer procedures. Key deadlines include a transition phase until the end of 2025, full application from 2026, and certificate sales starting in 2027.
