- European Commission’s Simplification Measures: On February 26, 2025, the European Commission introduced proposals aimed at simplifying the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as part of the Omnibus I and II packages, with the goal of enhancing EU business competitiveness while aligning with climate objectives.
- Key Updates to CBAM: The proposals include exemptions for small importers handling up to 50 tons of CBAM-covered goods, simplifying reporting and authorization procedures to reduce compliance burdens, and strengthening enforcement measures to prevent evasion and manipulation.
- Future Expansion Plans: The reforms are designed to facilitate the future extension of the CBAM to additional sectors within the emissions trading scheme, with a legislative proposal anticipated in early 2026. The proposals will now be reviewed by the European Parliament and the Council for further discussion.
