(10) Existing mechanisms to address the risk of carbon leakage in sectors or sub- sectors at risk of carbon leakage are the transitional free allocation of EU ETS allowances and financial measures to compensate for indirect emission costs incurred from GHG emission costs passed on in electricity prices respectively laid down in Articles 10a(6) and 10b of Directive 2003/87/EC. However, free allocation under the EU ETS weakens the price signal that the system provides for the installations receiving it compared to full auctioning and thus affects the incentives for investment into further abatement of emissions.

(11) The CBAM seeks to replacecomplement these existing mechanisms by addressing the risk of carbon leakage in a different way, namely by ensuring equivalent carbon pricing for imports and domestic products and by ensuring that EU products exported in the global market are not replaced by more carbon intensive products. To ensure a gradual transition from the current system of free allowances to the CBAM, the CBAM shcould be progressively phased in while free allowances in sectors covered by the CBAM are phased outwere potentially phased out after a test phase and a due assessment by the Commission that proves the effectiveness of the CBAM regulation in term of protection from the risk of carbon leakage both for imports and exports. The combined and transitional application of EU ETS allowances allocated free of charge and of the CBAM should in no case result in more favourable treatment for Union goods compared to goods imported into the customs territory of the Union.

Article 30 – paragraph 2
Article 30 – paragraph 2
2. Before the end of the transitional period, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the application of this Regulation. The report shall contain, in particular, an in-depthe assessment of the impact on competitiveness of the EU industry and the possibilities to further extend the scope of embedded emissions to indirect emissions and to other goods at risk of carbon leakage than those already covered by this Regulation, as well as an assessment of the governance system. It shall also contain the assessment of the possibility to further extend the scope to embedded emissions of transportation services as well as to goods further down the value chain and services that may be subject to the risk of carbon leakage in the future.

Article 30 – paragraph 2 a (new)
Article 30 – paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. The Commission shall monitor and evaluate the mechanism's effectiveness with regard to the risk of carbon leakage before phasing out free allocation to sectors at risk of carbon leakage covered by this regulation. To this end, the Commission shall present a report to the European Parliament and the Council evaluating: - the first three years (2026-2028) of the surrendering obligation pursuant to article 22; - the risk of carbon leakage on export markets. If the evaluation is positive, the report shall be accompanied by a legislative proposal phasing out free allocation to sectors subject to this regulation and implementing a solution to address the risk of carbon leakage on export markets.
