### (23) given that the cbam applies to imports of goods into the customs territory of the union rather than to installations , certain adaptations and simplifications would also need to apply in the cbam regime. one of those simplifications should consist in a declarative system where importers should report the total verified ghg emissions embedded in goods imported in a given calendar year. a different timing compared to the compliance cycle of the eu ets should also be applied to avoid any potential bottleneck resulting from obligations for accredited verifiers under this regulation and the eu ets. ### (23) given that the cbam applies to imports of goods into the customs territory of the union rather than to installations , certain adaptations and simplifications would also need to apply in the cbam regime. one of those simplifications should consist in a declarative system where importers should report the total verified ghg emissions embedded in goods imported in a given calendar year. a different timing compared to the compliance cycle of the eu ets should also be applied to avoid any potential bottleneck resulting from obligations for accredited verifiers under this regulation and the eu ets. furthermore , the importers should have the option to prove , in accordance with eu standards for mrv , that the carbon content of their products is lower than the benchmark , and avail of a cbam price adapted accordingly.

### (34) however , aluminium products should be included in the cbam as they are highly exposed to carbon leakage. moreover , in several industrial applications they are in direct competition with steel products because of characteristics closely resembling those of steel products. inclusion of aluminium is also relevant as the scope of the cbam may be extended to cover also indirect emissions in the future. ### (34) however , aluminium products should be included in the cbam as they are highly exposed to carbon leakage. moreover , in several industrial applications they are in direct competition with steel products because of characteristics closely resembling those of steel products. inclusion of aluminium is also relevant as the scope of the cbam may be extended to cover also indirect emissions in the future. including indirect emissions and pricing them in the cbam could be considered only once the mismatch between indirect carbon costs and indirect carbon emissions has been reduced to a minimum , as the european electricity grid decarbonises , and the downstream impacts in terms of carbon leakage across the full aluminium value chain have been assessed. indirect carbon costs will still be relevant in the period from 2021 to 2030 ,also considering the increased climate ambitions and the revised ets directive2003/87/ec. if after the initial transitional period , the data collected by the commission shows that the cbam cannot effectively protect against carbon leakage and incentivise the reduction global emissions , further phase-in of cbam and phase-out of free allocation of emission allowances should be paused until an effective solution can be found.
