Wijziging van de Wet milieubeheer in verband met de nadere operationalisering van het mechanisme voor een koolstofcorrectie aan de grens

This Dutch bill amends the Environmental Management Act (Wet milieubeheer) to set out in more detail how the carbon border adjustment mechanism will operate. The mechanism is linked to the EU's carbon border arrangement, which aims to put a carbon price on certain carbon-intensive imports so that they face similar climate costs to domestic production. The bill concerns the practical, operational implementation of that mechanism at national level. The changes mainly affect importers of carbon-intensive goods into the Netherlands, along with the authorities responsible for administering the levy and related reporting. Companies bringing covered products such as steel, cement, aluminium, fertiliser or electricity into the country may need to meet new obligations.
