- CBAM Update: Draft Implementing Regulation Published
Introduction
On June 13, 2023, the European Commission published a first call for feedback on the rules governing the implementation of the CBAM during its transitional phase. The draft implementing regulation (available here) details the reporting obligations and information sought from EU importers of CBAM goods, as well as the provisional methodology for calculating embedded emissions released during the production process of CBAM goods. The last date for providing comments thereto is July 11, 2023.
Key features of the draft regulation
Conclusion
While India does not presently have an emissions trading system in place, the Indian Parliament approved the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill on December 12, 2022, enabling the Government to set up a domestic carbon trading scheme. The draft implementing regulation may provide further guidance to the Indian Government as it formulates a carbon trading mechanism that the EU may accept for the purposes of deductions in the number of CBAM certificates for goods exported from India.
