  • In addition, CBAM might also deter the competitiveness of the EU industry as firms in the bloc will have to pay for more of its emissions in coming years.
  • “CBAM might hurt industrial manufacturers based in Europe more than those based in third countries,” the report said, citing more expensive raw materials.
  • “Most imported finished goods are not covered by the CBAM at this stage,” the study said.
