The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (Calculation of CBAM Rate and Determination of Carbon Price Relief) Regulations 2026
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
2 Interpretation
In these Regulations— “average ETS price” has the meaning given in regulation 3; “carbon price” means an amount per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent which is payable in relation to relevant emissions as a result of a carbon pricing scheme; “carbon pricing scheme” means an emissions trading scheme, a carbon tax or an amount required to be paid in relation to emissions under the law of a country or territory in connection with the importation of goods into that country or territory; “carbon pricing verification form” has the meaning given in regulation 9; “effective carbon price” means the price per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent payable by an installation outside the United Kingdom for relevant emissions, calculated in accordance with regulation 12; “elements of a qualifying carbon pricing scheme” has the meaning given in regulation 7(2); “emissions factor” means a value which gives the relationship between the amount of a pollutant produced and the amount of raw material processed or burnt; “emissions trading scheme” means a scheme in which a cap is set on the total amount of emissions that can be emitted by installations participating in the scheme, which must purchase and surrender allowances to account for each tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent emitted over a period of time specified in the rules of the scheme; “headline carbon price” means the price per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent payable under a qualifying carbon pricing scheme prior to accounting for any relevant elements of that scheme which result in a reduction of that price; “indirect carbon pricing scheme” has the meaning given in regulation 6(1)(c); “installation” means a stationary industrial unit where CBAM goods, either solely or alongside other goods, are manufactured or processed; “precursor good” means a CBAM good which is used in the production of another CBAM good and is identified as relevant to determining the emissions embodied in that CBAM good in the system boundaries document; “qualifying carbon pricing scheme” has the meaning given in regulation 6; “relevant elements of a qualifying carbon pricing scheme” has the meaning given in regulation 11; “relevant emissions” means the specified types of emissions produced by the specified production processes for a CBAM good or a precursor good, as the case may be, as set out in the system boundaries document; “system boundaries document” means the document entitled “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: System Boundaries Document”, version 1.00 dated 10th July 2026 which specifies— which emissions, including those relevant to the production of precursor goods, are to be taken into account when determining the emissions embodied in a CBAM good; which production processes, including production processes of precursor goods, are to be taken into account when determining the emissions embodied in CBAM goods; which goods are precursor goods for a CBAM good; how to determine the weight of CBAM goods. “tonne” means metric tonne, and any figure in tonnes must be rounded to the nearest tonne, unless the context otherwise requires; “verifier” has the meaning given in regulation 8.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
