AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The Commission proposal would extend the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) from 1 January 2028 to selected steel- and aluminium-intensive downstream products, and add measures against avoidance behaviour such as enhanced reporting, traceability and stronger powers on misdeclaration.

Parliament adopted its position on this law at first reading, which sets out the changes MEPs want to the proposal before it can be agreed with the Council.

Parliament also calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.
