As the EU moves into the definitive phase of the CBAM, a major legislative package is expected in Q4 2025, covering the treatment of exports, the extension of CBAM to downstream sectors, and the EU’s anti-circumvention strategy.

This first report under the Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU – Phase VII workstream will provide the ERCST’s timely and comprehensive response to the European Commission’s forthcoming proposal. It will offer a detailed analysis and critical reflection on those key design questions, and offer recommendations.

This closed stakeholder consultation will bring together a wider group of stakeholders to examine the proposal once more as ERCST continues drafting the report. Discussion will centre on the Commission’s approach to exports, the planned downstream extension of CBAM, and the anti-circumvention framework, exploring the rationale behind these measures, their expected impacts, and remaining gaps in addressing identified risks.
