On 16 May 2023, the final text of the Regulation establishing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (the CBAM Regulation) was published in the Official Journal of the EU.
From 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2025, the Regulation will only set up reporting obligations. On 1 January 2026, the Regulation will become fully operational and will counter the phenomenon of environmental dumping by preventing goods imported from non-EU countries from enjoying an undue competitive advantage from the absence of carbon costs in their countries of origin.
