Since the beginning of 2026 we can anticipate rising costs of living. All thanks to the fresh EU Green Communist Fanabreria, in the form of a CBAM coal duty. The European Commission has just announced an extension of the list of products covered. These include appliances and automotive parts. fresh charge will mean higher production costs — and consequently price increases for consumers.
From January CBAM will hit average Poles. The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is simply a bureaucratic mechanics that imposes duties on selected industrial goods imported from outside the Union, specified as cement, steel, fertilizers, aluminium, hydrogen or electricity. Its stated nonsubjective is to equalise the conditions of competition between EU companies with CO2 costs and 3rd country producers with no specified burden. In the future, the catalogue of goods is to be gradually expanded, in line with the EU ETS.
Already at the start, the European Commission made a crucial change, most likely due to its fear of possible chaos in reporting and accounting – in 2025 the EC excluded from reporting the alleged tiny importers – companies that import little than 50 tonnes of goods covered by CBAM annually.
Under the control of the Tuska Seym coalition, he adopted a law implementing CBAM in November. By the end of 2025, a transitional period applies — importers must submit quarterly reports on imported goods. From 2026 they will already buy certificates reflecting import related emissions.
Meanwhile, the European Commission has drawn up a proposal that the mechanics should besides cover selected products with a advanced metallic content, including automotive parts and appliances. "The fresh proposal contains further elements. ... This applies only to advanced metallic products ...such as car doors, washing machines, kitchen and garden equipment. The aim is to avoid that, for example, the production of washing machines from Poland will be transferred outside the European Union, due to the fact that CBAM, or metal, will rise the price of washing machines “ says EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra.
Economists point out that although CBAM is to level out competition with non-EU producers, any European companies have factories outside the EU. The view of the inevitability of price increases in certain goods has become widespread. More costly materials or energy in non-EU supply chains will require price increases or return of production to the Community. In 1 case or another, the consumer will pay more in the final price of the product. And that's what it's all about – another scope into our pockets, due to the fact that if we break down the car, we're not going to give it away, we're going to fix it, only more expensive.
We besides recommend: An aggressive black man threw himself at a Pole. Bad luck.
