(1) Regulation (EU) 2023/956 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), which simplified and strengthened the carbon border adjustment mechanism, by revising the procedures for applying for and for granting the status of authorised CBAM declarant and the conditions governing those procedures.

(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/486 (3) lays down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as regards the conditions and procedures related to the status of authorised CBAM declarant. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/486 should be amended to take into account the changes introduced by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083.

(3) By Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 the consultation procedure for granting and revoking the status of authorised CBAM declarant laid down in Regulation (EU) 2023/956 became optional and the time limit set out for such consultation procedure is converted from working days to calendar days. Consequently, the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/486 on such procedure should reflect that optionality and time limit.

(4) Furthermore, by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 the deadline for submitting the CBAM declarations set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/956 was prolonged in order to give the CBAM declarants more time to comply with their obligations. Consequently, the period covering the CBAM declarations in the case of revocation should be adjusted accordingly.

(5) In order to reduce administrative burden, the competent authority assessing an application for the status of authorised CBAM declarant should be allowed to digitally retrieve relevant information and data from other national competent authorities, provided that national law allows it or provided that the applicant has given their consent to the data processing.

(6) In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2025/2083, the purchase of CBAM certificates is to take place as of 2027. It is therefore necessary to establish an alternative measure for the consequences of a revocation and the surrender of CBAM certificates for the calendar year 2026.

(7) Additionally, an erroneous reference in Article 22(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/486 to Article 25 instead of 26 of that Regulation needs to be corrected.

(8) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/486 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

(9) The measures set out in this Regulation are consistent with the opinion of the CBAM Committee,
