10/ 06/ 2025

The Industrial Ecology and Sustainable Development Committee of the European Business Association sincerely thanks the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development for its initiative to support Ukrainian business in connection with the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The parliamentary committee recently appealed to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, urging it to take the necessary steps to initiate a request to the European Commission for a deferral of CBAM implementation for Ukraine. In particular, the MPs propose that such a deferral should apply for the duration of the war and for an additional five years after its end. The EBA greatly values the position of the Members of Parliament, which reflects the challenging conditions under which Ukrainian industry is operating during the full-scale war, as well as the pressing need to ensure the competitiveness of Ukrainian exporters on the EU market. We look forward to continued joint efforts by the business community, Parliament, and the Government to protect the interests of Ukraine’s economy and to ensure effective integration into European climate regulation, taking into account the realities of wartime.
