- The European Commission proposed postponing the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR) obligations by 12 months to December 30, 2025, giving companies more time to adapt without altering the regulation’s goals.
- The postponement aims to help businesses develop internal procedures, register in the Commission’s system, and test EUDR mechanisms, but companies should start preparations soon to avoid compliance risks.
- EUDR targets deforestation by regulating products like wood, palm oil, and cocoa, requiring supply chain mapping, risk analysis, and detailed documentation, with severe penalties for non-compliance.
