Proposal — not law

EU ETS heat and fuel benchmark proposal advances at committee stage

For EU ETS heat and fuel benchmark values for 2026–2030, Parliament's Legislative Observatory records a first-reading committee vote and a report tabled for plenary on 19 October 2026. This is adjacent ETS proposal monitoring, not adoption of law or a demonstrated change to current CBAM requirements.

This reflects a legislative proposal that has not been adopted. Scope, product lists, and dates may change or may not enter into force.

What changed

  • OEIL records a first-reading committee vote and committee report A10-0276/2026 tabled for plenary on 19 October 2026 in procedure 2026/0211(COD).
  • The file concerns COM(2026)619 on heat and fuel benchmark values for 2026–2030, not the separate COM(2026)616 slower-CBAM-phase-in proposal already covered by CBAM Pulse.
  • At the saved 22 October source check, OEIL labelled the file 'Awaiting Parliament's position in 1st reading'. Committee action is not plenary approval, Council adoption or entry into force; consult the live procedure for subsequent stages.
  • The procedural event labels do not establish amendment contents, changed benchmark numbers, vote totals or a numerical CBAM cost effect. Current adopted rules and CBAM Pulse calculator assumptions are not changed by this briefing.

Who may be affected

EU ETS participants and CBAM readers following related free-allocation policy. This is a separately identified adjacent proposal, not an instruction to change current importer calculations.
