On January 9, the Gerber Group formally alerted the European Commission to "significant irregularities" in the new CBAM default values published on December 31, 2025. CEO Thorsten Gerber highlighted specific anomalies in Taiwan's stainless steel segment, noting technically implausible data where semi-finished products were assigned higher emissions than processed ones. The Group also alleged that Taiwan's values appeared to be copied from other origins rather than based on its specific EAF production structure. Warning that such errors create legal and economic uncertainty, the Gerber Group has demanded an immediate correction.
