The Commission must document assigned revenue and disbursements annually and report on the Fund's performance by 31 March 2028. The Commission may propose extending the Fund after 31 December 2029, adapting its scope or financial envelope, or introducing a transaction fee. The Commission must present a report by 31 December 2030 on the Fund's performance and expenditure. The other changes are formal or wording: citations and cross-references are updated, a consultation reference is dropped, and punctuation is adjusted.

AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The Fund's scope shifts to exported goods and downstream operators, with new eligibility and conditionality rules. Support is tied to decarbonisation, labour, tax and sourcing conditions, and application and disbursement procedures change. New reporting, review and oversight duties are added, including a budgetary assessment. Recitals now mention negative emissions, carbon leakage prevention and existing EU ETS cost-alleviating instruments. The other change is formal: a consultation of the Committee of the Regions is added.
