Fertilizers Europe: Commission announcement on CBAM falls short
(Posted on 08/07/25)
Fertilizers Europe’s have released their reaction to the European Commission announcement on the CBAM export solution:
“European Commission’s announcement regarding its intention to propose an export solution under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) falls short of the urgency and clarity fertilizer sector needs. Addressing the export challenges faced by CBAM sectors is critical. Industry therefore calls on the Commission to urgently table a legislative proposal, ensuring that any mechanism put forward is sector-specific and immediately effective. Fertilizers Europe stands ready to constructively engage with policymakers in designing an effective measure. Antoine Hoxha, Director General of Fertilizers Europe, commented: “While we appreciate the Commission’s intention to respond to concerns raised by our sector, the time is simply running out. We are already competing on unequal terms with global players who are not subject to equivalent climate costs at the same time benefitting from lower energy prices. By further delaying the process to address the export challenges faced by CBAM sectors, Europe will only accelerate the loss of export markets, further deteriorate the competitiveness of the domestic sector, and in turn undermine the ability of European industry to invest in clean technologies” European fertilizer industry stands ready to engage constructively with the European Commission via the announced high-level dialogue to ensure that the forthcoming proposal delivers a robust and watertight export solution for EU exporters.”
