| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1 a) The structural issues threatening the aluminium industry continue to be unadressed making the CBAM an ineffective tool for preventing carbon leakage in the aluminium sector, and creating substantial problems for the European aluminium supply chain — a highly energy-intensive and complex industry that operates as a price-taker in extremely competitive global markets, where Europe relies on imports for more than half of its needs. It is therefore necessary to suspend the implementation of the CBAM final phase and the phasing-out of free allowances for the aluminium sector until solutions are adopted in the future review of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 which fully assess the competitiveness of the aluminium sector. |
One can acknowledge the Steel and Metals Action Plan’s efforts to improve CBAM by expanding product scope, addressing exports, and tackling circumvention. However, CBAM will still increase carbon leakage and harm the aluminium value chain, even with these changes. If CBAM is found to undermine competitiveness and decarbonisation, then this regulation should not apply for the aluminium sector and we should return to current carbon leakage protections, including maintaining ETS free allocations and indirect cost compensation at current levels beyond 2030.

| (1 b) To avoid unfair competitivity for exporters of goods listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2023/956, ETS free allocations and indirect cost compensation should be maintained at current levels. |
The issue of export is crucial for the competitiveness of European companies. Without a mechanism that protects exporters, European production will inevitably become less competitive, as the carbon costs of European industries increase. The CBAM would thus weigh on European exports, which are less CO2-intensive than production in many third countries.
