| (CBAM).
| | Ceasing to allow new members to join a pension scheme. |
| | |
| The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is a draft EU Regulation.
| |
| | |
| It is designed to address the problem of ''carbon leakage'' out of the EU and into other countries.
| |
| | |
| Carbon leakage is the risk that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may increase in other countries, as a consequence of reductions within the EU.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The mechanism of the CBAM would be a charge on goods imported into the EU, that had excessive levels of embedded carbon.
| |
| | |
| Embedded carbon is a measure of the GHG emissions released during the production of goods in those other countries.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Importers would need to buy and surrender CBAM certificates for each tonne of CO<sub>2</sub> - or equivalent GHG emissions.
| |
| | |
| The price of CBAM certificates would be the same as the price of the equivalent EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) allowances.
| |
|
| |
|
| | Closure of a pension scheme does not - of itself - mean the freezing of benefit accrual for existing members of the scheme. |
