Monitor the CBAM's internal-market impact, warn importers, declarants, competent and customs authorities of high-risk goods/origin combinations, and legislate the conditions for using actual emissions for them.
European Commission must comply, and it sits in an act that is partly law and partly a proposal.
Why it matters

- It is Art. 1(5)(c), adding Art. 6(7) to Regulation (EU) 2023/956, in the CBAM extension — downstream goods and anti-circumvention. as of 2026-08-14
- The act gives its timing as: from entry into force (third day after publication), Art. 2. as of 2026-08-14
- It names 4 industries by name: Steel, Aluminium, Cement and Chemicals. as of 2026-08-14
- Compliance is checked by none, if it happens. as of 2026-08-14

7. The Commission shall monitor at Union level the impact of the CBAM on the Union internal market. Where the Commission, taking into account relevant information, including from customs import declarations and CBAM declarations, finds that there is sufficient evidence pointing towards a high risk of abusive practices for a combination of goods and origins, it may inform importers and authorised CBAM declarants about these risks, it may inform competent authorities and customs aurhoties about these risks with a view of increasing their level of control, and it is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 28 to supplement this Regulation by laying down the methods for the identification of the combination of goods and origins, the information to be declared for the use of actual emissions for those combinations of goods and origins as well as the evidence to be provided to demonstrate that no abuse has taken place.
