REGULATION (EU) 2023/956 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL | ||||
Article 7 Calculation of embedded emissions 1. Embedded emissions in goods shall be calculated pursuant to the methods set out in Annex IV. For goods listed in Annex II only direct emissions shall be calculated and taken into account. 2. Embedded emissions in goods other than electricity shall be determined based on the actual emissions in accordance with the methods set out in points 2 and 3 of Annex IV. Where the actual emissions cannot be adequately determined, as well as in the case of indirect emissions, the embedded emissions shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the methods set out in point 4.1 of Annex IV. 3. Embedded emissions in imported electricity shall be determined by reference to default values in accordance with the method set out in point 4.2 of Annex IV, unless the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates that the criteria to determine the embedded emissions based on the actual emissions listed in point 5 of Annex IV are met. 4. Embedded indirect emissions shall be calculated in accordance with the method set out in point 4.3 of Annex IV and further specified in the implementing acts adopted pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Article, unless the authorised CBAM declarant demonstrates that the criteria to determine the embedded emissions based on actual emissions that are listed in point 6 of Annex IV are met. 5. The authorised CBAM declarant shall keep records of the information required to calculate the embedded emissions in accordance with the requirements laid down in Annex V. Those records shall be sufficiently detailed to enable verifiers accredited pursuant to Article 18 to verify the embedded emissions in accordance with Article 8 and Annex VI and to enable the Commission and the competent authority to review the CBAM declaration in accordance with Article 19(2). 6. The authorised CBAM declarant shall keep those records of information referred to in paragraph 5, including the report of the verifier, until the end of the fourth year after the year in which the CBAM declaration has been or should have been submitted. 7. The Commission is empowered to adopt implementing acts concerning:
Where objectively justified, the implementing acts referred to in the first subparagraph shall provide that default values can be adapted to particular areas, regions or countries to take into account specific objective factors that affect emissions, such as prevailing energy sources or industrial processes. Those implementing acts shall build upon existing legislation for the monitoring and verification of emissions and activity data for installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, in particular Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2066 (24), Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2067 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 (25). Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 29(2) of this Regulation. ***Directive 2003/87/EC: establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC |
