The European Commission announced a plan to maintain its carbon border tax to support farmers, despite rising fertiliser prices linked to carbon pricing. Commissioner Christophe Hansen emphasized the importance of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for protecting EU fertiliser producers from unfair competition. The Commission acknowledges the impact of climate costs on farmers and food prices and plans to investigate how these costs are passed through the supply chain. Additionally, they aim to provide financial support to affected farmers while maintaining carbon pricing policies.
