  "account": "On September 15th, the European Parliament adopted its stance on extending the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBam) and establishing a fund for decarbonization support. The vote was 464 in favor, 50 against, and 159 abstentions. The proposal by the Commission was extended to a wider list of finished products, including steel and aluminum products, fasteners, metal wires, springs, and household items. They also requested an exemption for energy flows from non-EU countries used by network operators to maintain grid stability. However, the safeguard measure proposed by the Commission, which would have allowed certain goods to be excluded from CBAM during price shocks, was rejected. Instead, the Parliament proposed temporarily directing CBAM revenues from affected goods to hit sectors. They also eliminated the possibility of using Article 6 Paris Agreement carbon credits to offset CBAM obligations, as the issue should be discussed during the next ETS revision. The Parliament also adopted its position on the temporary decarbonization fund to protect EU producers in export markets, with 433 votes in favor, 97 against, and 146 abstentions. They requested to deliver the financial support from the fund starting in 2027 (instead of 2028) until 2029, and extended it to fertilizer producers and operators facing higher carbon-related costs, including urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium sulfate, which are considered strategic for food security. According to Euro deputies, all companies using CBAM goods in their production should be able to benefit from the fund. The Parliament is now ready to start negotiations with EU member states. Disappointment from sectors using CBAM and carbon-intensive goods, especially in light of the Middle East crisis, particularly over the elimination of Article 27a, which according to Paolo Fantoni, president of Assopannelli di FederlegnoArredo (which uses urea), \"takes away an important flexibility tool to intervene in exceptional circumstances.\" Copa and Cogeca, along with Coldiretti and Confagricoltura, echoed the same sentiment, stating that \"it could have protected farmers from the impact of exceptionally high fertilizer prices during times of crisis.\"",
