2021 欧洲议会 建立碳边界调整机制 Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL establishing a carbon border adjustment mechanism .pptx

EN;EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM;The Commission also announced in its EU Action Plan: Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil10 the promotion of relevant instruments and incentives to better implement the polluter pays principle11 and thus complete the phasing out of ‘pollution for free’ with a view to maximising synergies between decarbonisation and the zero pollution ambition. The Commission announced its intention to propose a CBAM in the European Green Deal. As indicated in the Communication ‘Should differences in levels of ambition worldwide persist, as the EU increases its climate ambition, the Commission will propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism, for selected sectors, to reduce the risk of carbon leakage. This would ensure that the price of imports reflect more accurately their carbon content. This measure will be designed to comply with World Trade Organization rules and other international obligations of the EU12’. This mechanism is an alternative to the measures that address the risk of carbon leakage in the EU’s Emissions Trading System13 (‘EU ETS’) and is meant to avoid that the emissions reduction efforts of the Union are offset by increasing emissions outside the Union through relocation of production or increased imports of less carbon-intensive products. Without such a mechanism, carbon leakage could result in an overall increase in global emissions. The Paris Agreement commits the international community to a continuous increase in the ambition of climate action to limit global average temperature rise in order to significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change. Each Party must prepare its own nationally determined contribution (‘NDC’) towards this global goal, reflecting its ‘highest possible ambition’ as well as its ‘common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances14. As long as significant numbers of the EU’s international partners have
