Repurchase the excess CBAM certificates through the common central platform on behalf of the Member State where the authorised CBAM declarant is established.

European Commission must comply, and it sits in an act that is partly law and partly a proposal.

Why it matters

The act this comes from is partly law in force and partly a proposal that can still change.

It is Art. 1(14), replacing the first sentence of the second subparagraph of Art. 23(1) of 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 no industry: it applies across the economy rather than to one of them. as of 2026-08-14
Compliance is checked by none, annual. as of 2026-08-14
