Hello, Five:<br /><br />I had the same issue, so I checked the usage on the interest. Apparently, there is no fixed rule. It all depends on how it sounds. I tended to remove the artcle, as you would with most acronyms. For example, Nato stands by itself. The difficulty arises when you might mean The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in which case I wouldn't say The Nato, but rather I would write it out. With CBAM I dropped the article wherever I could, including it only where necessary. You'll find that it's rarely called The CBAM, except, occasionally, at the beginning of a sentence, on the internet, so my recommendation is to go with the sound, not the rule.<br /><br />Best wishes - George
