Trade: Orgalim Position Paper on the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM)

Orgalim also calls for WTO-compatibility of CBAM and a clarification of its anti-circumvention provisions. Finally, Orgalim cautions against the excessive use of delegated or implementing acts in CBAM and calls for CBAM to be designed in a non-protectionist way.
