Must-read in the context of the negotiations on ETS and CBAM coming to end.

Open letter to ENVI committee: Time to vote for an EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) that works for climate and industrial transformation

"At the time, nobody else was interested in #CBAM, but I immediately knew I wanted to be the one handling this. It is of central importance to the European climate effort." #EUGreenDeal

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 31 Mar 2022, 14:01

And a big thank you to @CSIS for having me and talking #CBAM!

During the first week of March, I visited the US to discuss #CBAM.

"Looking back at my visit, I am happy with the conversations I had. It is essential not to neglect our trading partners while setting up this mechanism."

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 15 Mar 2022, 09:59

Vanuit het @Europarl_NL zullen wij alleszins niet akkoord gaan met een #CBAM zonder duidelijkheid over het afbouwen van de gratis uitstootrechten.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 10 Mar 2022, 12:15

Agreed. ✅

Parliament will not sign up to a #CBAM without certainty about the phase-out of free allowances.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 3 Mar 2022, 14:48

+1Had the pleasure this week discussing #CBAM with @ChrisCoonsforDE and @RepScottPeters.

Senator Coons and Congressman Peters have been working on an American border carbon adjustment.

Would be a great step for the USA.

Looking forward to future cooperation! 🤝

Great meeting with @USRepKCastor, chair of the select committee on the climate crisis in the US Congres.

Discussing #CBAM, EU-US relations and climate policy.

@EPWashingtonDC

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 23 Feb 2022, 12:30

In general, I had the same starting point when drafting my report:

Commission proposal is a good basis, but most important improvements:

-shortening phase-out of free allowances
-establishing clear timeline for expanding scope
-EU CBAM authority

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 23 Feb 2022, 12:30

Interesting read on #CBAM by @DelorsInstitute

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Thu 3 Feb 2022, 10:44

Very proud of my colleague @MChahim presenting his groundbreaking draft #CBAM report yesterday. Watch the clip👇🏼and follow this ongoing debate because it is a key element of #ClimateAction. Free allowances are actually taxpayers money and need to be phased out. 🌍🌱♻️

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 2 Feb 2022, 09:16

Today I present my draft report on #CBAM in the @EP_Environment! 🌎♻️🏭

Today I was invited to participate in the discussion on #CBAM in the trade committee @EP_Trade

Although #CBAM is in the first place a climate measure, the trade perspective is extremely important.

(1/4)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 18 Jan 2022, 23:09

@DavidKleimann @AmyPorges @kaat_bots @bensonel @CSIS_Trade I finally had the chance to listen to the podcast. My position is that non-picking measures will be reflected in the number of CBAM-certificates needed. Moreover, similarly the CO2 price paid in a country is subtracted from the EU ETS price (in case it’s lower).

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 12 Jan 2022, 16:22

My draft report on the #CBAM is now officially available on the website of @EP_Environment. 🥳

Available for everyone to read here 👇

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 12 Jan 2022, 11:34

@timbales @CarbonMrktWatch @Sam__Vdp How can you call it a cash cow when the ultimate goal is that trading partners have their own carbon pricing policies? + revenues will not be spend on EU industries.

What about for example Turkey's new climate ambition during COP26? no possible link with CBAM?

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 11 Jan 2022, 07:41

@DavidKleimann Don’t agree with header. Non-pricing measure are reflected in the number of CBAM certificates.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 6 Jan 2022, 21:37

@d_le_nen As I told the FT: Climate club should be on top of CBAM. If you have clear implicit carbon policies, this will be reflected in the number of CBAM certificates that you will need to pay. But no exemption should be granted on the grounds of implicit carbon costs.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 6 Jan 2022, 12:23

@RodrigoPupo3 We should not use CBAM revenues for this. Revenues from EU ETS are and will be used for this. (E.g. Innovation Fund)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

We need to avoid CBAM affecting LDC’s disproportionally. Direct exemptions would however be the wrong signal.

We need to support decarbonisation in LDC’s. The Union needs to provide financial support for this.

(9/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

My draft report will be published online soon!

Looking forward to working with: @KarinKarlsbro @JarubasAdam @yjadot @nicustefanuta @MalinBjork_EU @kvanbrempt etc.

To be continued!
#CBAM

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

I therefore suggest to shorten the transitional phase from 3 to 2 years.

The CBAM factor (to reduce free allowances) will start after the pilot phase, and shall be equal to 90 % in 2025, 70 % in 2026, 40% in 2027, and will reach 0% by the end of 2028.

(6/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

While the @EU_Commission foresees a decentralized system with 27 CBAM authorities, I want to suggest a centralized system with one EU CBAM Authority.

👉This will offer economies of scale, and would help avoid ‘forum shopping’ because of discrepancies between MS.

(7/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

The CBAM should foster cooperation rather than confrontation with our trade partners. 🤝

It should however be very clear, that only trade partners with explicit carbon pricing policies in place can be exempt from CBAM.

(8/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

Indirect emissions, such as emissions from electricity, should also be covered by CBAM after the pilot phase.

This is extremely important to heighten the climate ambition of this proposal. 🌎

(4/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

Given the current climate emergency, we need a speedier phase-in of CBAM and a speedier phase-out of free allowances.

Guaranteeing free allowances until 2036 is not in line with the Union’s 2030 climate objectives. ❌

(5/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

First and foremost I want to thank everyone who reached out to me during these last months, to discuss #CBAM.

After careful analysis of reports, position papers, assessments, draft opinions etc, my team and I came the following conclusions and suggestions 👇

(2/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

The scope of the CBAM should be broadened to organic chemicals, hydrogen and polymers.

These products have the right characteristics to be covered by CBAM, and technical complexities can be overcome.

(3/10)

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 5 Jan 2022, 10:47

Today we sent our draft report on the legislative proposal to establish a carbon border adjustment mechanism (#CBAM) to the shadow rapporteurs.

The Commission proposal is an excellent starting point, but I see room for improvement in several areas.

(1/10)

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 22 Dec 2021, 19:37

@vanHijum @EU_Commission @EPPGroup Door ETS1, CBAM, sancties op non-respect ESR, plastic tax, heffing op vliegtickets - opties genoeg. Maar wat door de mensen wordt opgebracht bij transport & housing moet ook daarheen voor betere isolatie, groene mobiliteit etc. Voor de EVP in het EP een belangrijk principe.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 9 Nov 2021, 14:59

Dit is exact het effect wat we hiermee hopen te bereiken. CBAM (en de gehele fit for 55) is er niet alleen om Europa klimaatneutraal te maken. Als we echt de leiders van de klimaatbeweging willen zijn, dan moeten we ons ook hardmaken om de rest van de wereld mee te krijgen

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 9 Nov 2021, 14:59

Samen hebben we daar veel meer invloed op. Een CBAM in Nederland zal weinig internationaal effect hebben. Maar als je handelt als de Europese markt in zijn geheel, dan zie je dat andere landen veel sneller mee gaan doen

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Tue 9 Nov 2021, 14:59

De eerste positieve effecten van de CBAM beginnen al te verschijnen nog voor de wetgeving officieel is. De dreigende EU-heffing op koolstof heeft Turkije ertoe aangezet het klimaatakkoord van Parijs te ratificeren

As a result, the European Parliament has called for increased global ambitions to combat climate change, such as a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM) to encourage industries outside the EU to invest in green technologies while ensuring a level playing field. #COP26

@leender90138648 CBAM : een nieuwe bron van directe inkomsten in de maak voor de EU.

Dorien Rookmaker (OA-NI) Tue 21 Sep 2021, 08:20

Moet 'Slochteren' toch weer tijdelijk open? | Gedeeld artikel van de Volkskrant de EU rekent zich rijk met een nieuw belastingsysteem op CO2 uitstoot (CBAM). Maar i.c.m. met hoge gasprijzen wordt dat een fiasco. digitalekrant.volkskrant.n­l/volkskrant/136…­

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 14 Jul 2021, 19:03

Ook het invoeren van een koolstofheffing van de grens (CBAM) is positief.

Goed dat de Commissie stelt dat dit een alternatief is voor gratis uitstootrechten.

Het uitfaseren van deze gratis uitstootrechten moet wel echt sneller! Daar ga ik in het @Europarl_NL aan werken. 💪

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Fri 26 Mar 2021, 11:39

Logic reasoning 🤓

Double protection is not WTO-compatible!

Hope that all my colleagues in the @Europarl_EN get this message

As they say: you can’t have your cake and eat it too 🍰

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Thu 11 Mar 2021, 08:23

@MJSchiffers Natuurlijk niet, of je introduceert een niet effectieve CBAM (alleen over het CO2>free allowances).

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 10 Mar 2021, 20:20

Clear signal by @EPPGroup and fellow MEPs: we must work towards an effective #CBAM to reach our climate goals and ensure fair competition with a level playing field. However, the abolition of free allowances is premature. Glad to see so many colleagues agree.

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Wed 10 Mar 2021, 17:48

Unlike some political groups in the @Europarl_EN, most industry has made the decision to decarbonise and welcome the European Green Deal.

Let’s give them the clear legislation and investments they need to reach our common climate goals. 🌍✅

#CBAM #GreenDeal

Mohammed Chahim (PvdA) Mon 8 Mar 2021, 14:53

Deze week stemt het Europees Parlement over een Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. (#CBAM)

Een CO2-heffing aan de grens, wat is dat eigenlijk en waarom hebben we dat nodig? ✅🌍

Ik leg het hier uit 👇

Rob Rooken (JA21) Fri 5 Feb 2021, 14:00

Vandaag heeft het #EUParlement een serieuze stap gezet in de richting van het "CBAM":
Een nieuwe #EU-klimaatbelasting op importproducten. Goed voor de portemonnee van Brussel. Slecht voor de koopkracht van Nederlanders, want de heffing zal aan u worden doorberekend. #JA21
