EU-EHS

das System für den Handel mit Treibhausgasemissionszertifikaten in der Union in Bezug auf die in Anhang I der Richtlinie 2003/87/EG aufgelisteten Tätigkeiten, ausgenommen Luftverkehrstätigkeiten

The EU ETS is the EU's domestic carbon market, and CBAM exists to apply an equivalent cost to imports — so it's the reference point the whole mechanism is built against. Where EU producers still receive free EU ETS allowances for a given good, the number of CBAM certificates an importer must surrender is reduced by the same amount, so importers and EU producers face a comparable carbon cost rather than a double charge.
