Ministry of Agriculture in favour of postponing the CBAM tax

In view of the current tense situation in the agricultural and related sectors, the Ministry of Agriculture advocates a postponement of the application of the Carbon Border Advance Tax (CBAM) .

The Ministry believes that additional financial commitments at this time could further complicate the sector's activities and that it is therefore necessary to find solutions to help businesses and farms to remain stable and competitive. The possibility of providing soft loans to agricultural operators to replenish their working capital is also currently being considered in cooperation with the national development bank ILTE. Such a financial instrument would help farmers to ensure the continuity of their activities and help them to adapt to a difficult economic situation.

The Ministry notes that a range of solutions are being sought to help the sector overcome the challenges it faces and ensure its sustainable development.
