Information Session on the EU CBAM extension public consultation

The Climate Action Authority (CAA) invites you to an online information session on the public consultation concerning the possible extension of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), to be held on Monday 22 June 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00 via the following Teams link: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/347270599721099?p=nCYKMsj3fGtpz2D6O4

CBAM, established by Regulation (EU) 2023/956, applies a carbon charge to certain carbon‑intensive goods imported into the EU (currently steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen) and is applicable to importers above the 50‑tonne annual threshold. The EU is now considering extending CBAM to additional downstream products, mainly steel/iron/aluminium‑based goods, as well as strengthening anti‑avoidance measures through additional checks and evidence requirements.

We are also pleased to note that the Chief Executive Officer of the Climate Action Authority will join the session for an opening intervention, underlining the importance of stakeholders’ feedback in shaping Malta’s position at EU level.

Meeting agenda (online):

• 10:00–10:15 – Welcome and opening remarks (including CEO intervention)
• 10:15–10:40 – Overview of CBAM and planned extensions (scope, timelines, key changes)
• 10:40–11:00 – Walk‑through of the CAA consultation form
• 11:00–11:50 – Q&A and discussion
• 11:50–12:00 – Next steps and closing

Consultation form (please review in advance):

To make the session as useful as possible, participants are kindly requested to review the consultation form in advance and, where feasible, prepare initial inputs or take note of specific questions: CBAM Extension Stakeholder Consultation Form

The consultation seeks feedback from importers, manufacturers, traders and other stakeholders on how the proposed CBAM extension and anti‑avoidance measures may affect costs, operations and administrative workload, with particular attention to Malta’s economic structure and trade patterns.

Your input will help the Authority to:

• better understand potential impacts on businesses operating in and through Malta
• identify sector‑specific challenges and risks
• inform Malta’s engagement in ongoing and future EU‑level discussions on CBAM

Participation is particularly encouraged for importers, manufacturers, traders, customs representatives and other operators who are already within CBAM scope or may be affected by its extension.
