Ukrcement, the Association of Cement Producers of Ukraine, is urging the government to request a delay in the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The association argues that Ukrainian industries need more time to adapt to the new regulations, given ongoing economic challenges.

Stakeholders emphasize that CBAM could impose additional financial burdens on domestic producers, potentially affecting competitiveness. They are advocating for negotiations with the EU to secure a transition period that would allow businesses to adjust without immediate cost pressures.
