Throughout the past few years, the EU has been revamping its regulatory toolbox in order to better address emerging economic, geopolitical, technological and climate challenges. These expanding toolbox includes instruments aiming at combatting economic distortions and creating a level-playing field in the Single Market, ensuring reciprocity with third countries in areas like procurement and combatting coercive actions initiated by those countries, fostering sustainable processes and preventing carbon leakage among industry players. As number of these regulations will impact the China operations of European companies, the European Chamber brings to you the Interpreting the EU’s Toolbox Series, where experts will provide an overview of the instruments that are being rolled out.
The first episode of the series will focus on the long-awaited Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) regulation, which officially entered into force the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the EU on 16th May 2023. The CBAM is the EU’s landmark tool to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon intensive goods that are entering the EU, and to encourage cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries.
On Monday 24th July, Mr. Xavier Vanden Bosch and Mr. David Boublil at the European Commission’s DG TAXUD, will debrief members on the details of the CBAM. If you are interested in joining, please register here or email sxu@europeanchamber.com.cn before Friday 21st July COB.
