Article 30 Review in the light of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the development of carbon markets in other major economies

1. This Directive shall be kept under review in the light of international developments and efforts undertaken to achieve the long-term objectives of the Paris Agreement, and of any relevant commitments resulting from the Conferences of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

2. The measures to support certain energy-intensive industries that may be subject to carbon leakage referred to in Articles 10a and 10b of this Directive shall also be kept under review in the light of climate policy measures in other major economies. In this context, the Commission shall also consider whether measures in relation to the compensation of indirect costs should be further harmonised. The measures applicable to CBAM sectors shall be kept under review in light of the application of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. Before 1 January 2028, and every two years thereafter, as part of its reports to the European Parliament and to the Council pursuant to Article 30(6) of that Regulation, the Commission shall assess the impact of CBAM on the risk of carbon leakage, including in relation to exports.

The report shall assess the need for taking additional measures, including legislative measures, to address carbon leakage risks. The report shall, where appropriate, be accompanied by a legislative proposal.
