    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.
