Sources disagree about the kind of change — they agree this provision changed and disagree about how: the text comparison called it INSERTED, the EU's own amendment metadata called it INSERTED and the amending act's instructions called it MODIFIED. All are shown; none is overruled.

This annex is newly added and sets the single mass-based threshold referred to in Article 2a at 50 tonnes of net mass.

It also lays out a methodology, including a target emissions share, a margin of 0.25 percentage points added to that share, and a rounding rule to the nearest ten, for use under Article 2a(3).

ANNEX VII
The single mass-based threshold
1. The single mass-based threshold referred to in Article 2a shall be set at 50 tonnes of net mass.
2. For the purpose of Article 2a(3), the following methodology shall apply:
chosen such that
Where:
99 %
is the target share of emissions;
is the mass-threshold in tonnes allowing to capture a given target share of emissions;
Annual emissions per importer
qi,j
is the quantity of imports in tonnes by importer i of the CN code j;
Ji
is the number of CN codes imported by importer i among the four sectors considered (aluminium, cement, fertilisers, iron and steel);
EIj
is the emission intensity for CN code jThe emission intensities Ej are based on default values (without mark-up) for emissions published for the transitional period. For cement and fertiliser products, direct emissions and indirect emissions are considered; for aluminium and iron and steel products, only direct emissions are considered. For future updates of the single mass-based threshold, the default values shall be set in accordance with the methods set out in Annex IV without the mark-up as referred to in point 4.1 of Annex IV.;
Total emissions:
the total emissions in CO2 of the four CBAM sectors considered, that is the sum of corresponding emissions for all importers:
,
where N is the number of importers;
:
the total quantity in tonnes of goods listed in Annex I imported by importer i;
is an indicator function equal to 1 when  (that is, when an importer is importing quantities higher than the mass-threshold ), 0 otherwise.
To capture uncertainty over changes in trade patterns while maintaining the environmental objective of this Regulation, a margin of 0,25 percentage points is added to the above target share of emissions.
The single mass-based threshold shall be rounded to the nearest ten.
