Norway Details EEA CBAM Regulations in New Public Consultation
1 februari 2026The Norwegian Environment Agency has launched a consultation outlining how the EU's CBAM Registry and Authorisation Regulations will be implemented in the EEA. Stakeholder feedback is due March 27, 2026.
On behalf of the Ministry of Climate and Environment, the Norwegian Environment Agency is submitting a draft of a new regulation on the adjustment of carbon prices when importing goods into the EEA (the CBAM regulation).
The regulation aims to implement two underlying legal acts of the CBAM Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/956): the CBAM Registry Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024/3210 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2550) and the Authorisation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/486 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2549). The regulation also contains rules that a representative may assume responsibility for the obligations under the CBAM regulations on behalf of the importer.
The regulation will entail certain financial and administrative consequences for both national authorities and the business community, particularly related to the establishment of new systems and processes for authorization and use of the CBAM register. The regulation also places requirements on actors importing CBAM goods, but the possibility of using a customs representative as a CBAM declarant may help reduce some of the practical work for some importers.
