CBAM extension — downstream goods and anti-circumvention is now on the platform. Its 61 measures have been read one provision at a time. The act names 6 sectors in its own text — most often Steel, on 41 measures. The proposal COM(2025) 989, under procedure 2025/0419(COD), would change an act already in force. What it adds is not law yet; the act it changes is.

Sectors

Who this lands on

Sectors the act names in its own text, and — where the reach can be stated — the sectors its measures arrive at through a chain, with the channel each one travels.

Named in the act

Aluminium and metalsConstructionCement and concreteChemicals and refiningPower and heatSteel

Supply-chain reach is not stated on this record. The act is a proposal amending an act already in force, and reach is currently computed against the proposal rather than the act it amends — so the sectors it would list are the existing regime’s, not the change’s.
