“I think that every time we have the opportunity to raise our ambitions, we should do so, because we are setting standards internationally”, said MEP Mohammed Chahim (S&D, Netherlands), rapporteur for the text on the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM).
In a debate with his counterparts on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI), he urged MEPs to agree on an ambitious CBAM. More than 13,000 amendments have been tabled so far on his report.
