D-304/D-307 series corrections (03), 18 October 2026: READING OF 18 OCTOBER 2026 (CB-2; D-307): THE COMMISSION'S GUIDANCE STILL CARRIES THE 2023 WORDING OF ARTICLE 9. THE CONFLICT WITH THE REGULATION IS RECORDED HERE AND IS NOT RESOLVED IN PROSE. The edition this row holds (last updated 27 May 2026; research/SRC-005_extracted.txt), question 3.10: 'Only the carbon price that has been [quotation withheld, 7 words; follow the citation] will count for a reduction of the number of CBAM certificates.' and 'The Commission plans to adopt in 2026 an implementing act setting out additional details for the deduction of the carbon price effectively paid in the country of origin (see Article 9(4) of the CBAM Regulation).' The edition 'Last updated on 15 October 2026' (research/PART11_RECHECK_2026-10-16/ec/EC_CBAM_QandA_2026-10-15.pdf and .txt; retrieved 16 October 2026 and read 18 October 2026, after this book's closing date) carries the same two passages at question 3.10: 'Only the carbon price that has been "[quotation withheld, 7 words; follow the citation]" will count for a reduction of the number of CBAM certificates.' and 'The Commission plans to adopt in 2026 an implementing act setting out additional details for the deduction of the carbon price effectively paid in the country of origin (see Article 9(4) of the CBAM Regulation).' Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as replaced by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 and applying from 1 January 2026 (SRC-560; SRC-075) reads 'effectively paid in a third country', conditions that route on actual emissions, makes Article 9(4) the default-carbon-price route, and puts the implementing power at Article 9(5). So both editions of the guidance use the wording and the paragraph number of the replaced text. The regulation binds and the guidance does not: Chapter 3 l.111 quotes the regulation in the v33 draft, and no sentence of the book quotes the guidance on this point. Not established: whether the Commission has said anything about the discrepancy; the guidance's own statement that the implementing act is still to be adopted 'in 2026' is consistent with CELLAR holding no such act to 16 October 2026 (research/PART11_RECHECK_2026-10-16/FETCH_RECORD.md section 2).
SCOPE CORRECTION 18 October 2026 (REVIEW_03 R03-3): 'CELLAR holding no such act' is the result of a title-only CELLAR query of 16 October 2026, with the scope FETCH_RECORD.md section 2 states ('SCOPE: titles only; an omnibus amending 2023/956 whose title does not name it would be missed; CELLAR indexing can lag the Official Journal by days'); the Comitology Register and the Commission's 'Have your say' page for initiative 14830 were not searched (FETCH_RECORD.md section 7).
19 October 2026 (closing pass 2, lift sweep): for 'read 18 October 2026, after this book's closing date' read 'read 18 October 2026, on this book's closing date' (D-315). The reading is an ordinary one and needs no label.
