In this Episode 5 of the CKI podcast series, we discuss sustainability and customs 'on both sides of the Atlantic'. Questions raised for the discussion:
- 'Sustainability' factors include environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery matters. Leaving aside the moral desirability of addressing these matters, is there a risk that the 'sustainability' label could be used to give respectability to trade discrimination?
- It has been suggested by Ira and others that the 'deep origin' information required is unrealistic - examples Uyghur production, deforestation - what are the likely consequences of enforcement?
- CBAM is now in its transitional phase. The stated intention is to equalise the carbon price paid on imported goods with that paid in the EU. However, the mechanisms (authorisation of importers, reporting/payment) are likely to restrict and reduce the quantity of imports - is this not so?
