Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says the federal government may be open to implementing a Carbon Border Adjustment Scheme along the lines of the one that will be introduced by the European Commission. Bowen says it is the right time for Australia to "cautiously" consider a tariff on imported products that have a large carbon footprint. However, such a scheme could potentially affect Australia’s key trading partners such as China, Japan and the US. Bowen says any decision on such a scheme will be not be made by July, when changes to the safeguard mechanism will take effect.
