Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Stresses the importance of establishing a CBAM as a mirror to the EU ETS in order to create a level playing field between domestic producers and importers; notes, nevertheless, that this should imply a revision of the EU ETS to avoid the extension of its weaknesses to CBAM; highlights, in this respect, that the EU ETS has not been fully effective to reach the emission reduction targets; notes the difference between the theoretical emission cap and the actual current emissions; suggests that the suppression of free allocation emission allowances, as well as the full extension of the EU ETS to other sectors such as aviation and other transport, should be considered;

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recommends that a design be introduced that measures the carbon content of imports through their basic materials composition (as outlined in the proposal from the European Economic and Social Committee); recalls that this feasible approximation would weigh each basic material covered by the EU ETS and multiply it by its carbon intensity value – which ideally should be defined at countryEU level; stresses, however, that importers who are more carbon efficient should be allowed to demonstrate the specific carbon intensity of their products; this flexible system should be based on objective and harmonized parameters, such as with the establishment of a range of values multiplier rather than a fixed one;
