I very much agree with @bmcwilliams.bsky.social here.
Simplification tends to be always welcomed, but the de minimis rule could be a double-hedge sword for EU domestic producers further down the value chain.
The Commission should also be careful not to create loopholes.

Up to 80% of companies to be exempted from CBAM. Carbon & economic effects really depend where they are. If typically further along value chains, there will be an incentive to increased processing outside EU (eg turn raw steel into a nail).

💡 Europe's energy challenge:
98% of natural gas is imported—much as LNG—costing 5x more than domestic US gas. This dependency drives high electricity prices, with fossil fuels still central to the power mix.
To make energy affordable, Europe must decarbonise. Here's four ways to reduce prices: 🧵

Why I’m optimistic about the energy transition:
Humans tend to underestimate the pace of innovation and overestimate the inertia of incumbent technologies.
Clean energy technologies have scaled much more rapidly than predicted by modellers

Shocking numbers in the latest ENEA report on the Italian Superbonus.
Capital constraints and coordination issues have likely crippled the rate of adoption in multi-apartment buildings (vs single-family houses).
8 castles also benefitted from the 110% tax credit.

- the power system is increasingly isolated

This is a great tool on electricity prices (and what goes into them). Do have a play around with it and if you are in Belgium in a small household well done! You are paying some of the highest electricity prices in Europe.
