Assofermet, representing Italian steel, metals, scrap, & hardware companies, formally requests European Commission transitional Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism measures. The association warns that absent definitive cost calculation parameters until first quarter 2026, operators face procurement uncertainty potentially destabilising European manufacturing. Assofermet proposes temporary exemptions from CBAM certificate purchases for imports cleared from January 2026 until five months after parameter publication. The request, coordinated through Italian foreign affairs & enterprises ministries, seeks balanced implementation protecting industrial competitiveness whilst advancing environmental goals.
