Origin

2023 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, at the end of paragraph 9.6, insert the following words:

", while taking into account the conditions in developing and war-affected countries"

Explanatory note

The effects of the CBAM and other similar unilateral measures on countries like Ukraine may be too disruptive and may add insult to injury. Therefore, we urge the Assembly to complement this call with a caveat for countries which objectively need addidional resources to comply with such rigorous demands.
