„It is the beginning of an idea that we have been working on for the last six months“, said MEP Mohammed Chahim from the S&D Group at a meeting in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg. The Moroccan-born Dutch politician from the Labor Party has been a Member of the European Parliament since 2019. He is Vice-President of the Socialists and Democrats in the EU and made a name for himself when he was rapporteur for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism – „CBAM“ in EU jargon.
