In order to prevent production from taking place outside the EU and thereby causing ‘carbon leakage’, the EU is introducing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. This mechanism is being introduced in several phases within each member state of the EU. From October 2023, the reporting obligation for importers of certain types of goods will be introduced. Ultimately, in 2026, companies will pay for carbon emissions in (certain) third countries.
