CBAM Call for Evidence and Public Consultation

24.07.2025 Press and information team of the Delegation to KAZAKHSTAN

On 1 July the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD) has launched a public consultation on the potential downstream extension of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), as well as additional anti-circumvention measures and rules for electricity as a CBAM good.

As part of this process, we have published a call for evidence and a public consultation, which can be accessed via the following links: 

You are encouraged to provide feedback through the link above and contribute to the Commission understanding of the problem, the possible solutions and any other relevant information, including on possible impacts of the different options. 

The Call for Evidence is open until 26 August. It will feed into a possible legislative proposal which would cover three fields, the first two of which were already announced under the European Steel and Metals Action Plan. The three fields are:

1) The possible extension of the CBAM scope to cover certain steel and aluminium-intensive downstream products

2) The inclusion of additional anti-circumvention measures

3) Rules for the default values and the conditions for using actual emissions for electricity as a CBAM good
