U.S. Forest Sector Calls For Simplified EUDR; EC Proposes To Implement EUDR This Year
U.S. forest products associations urged the European Commission to "avoid a rushed process and take the time necessary to pursue simplification [of the EU Deforestation Regulation] with great care. An additional year provides a valuable opportunity for the Commission to engage in productive dialogue with forest owners and operators in highly forested, low-risk countries like the U.S. to understand implementation challenges and reduce unintended consequences."
Now, however, the EC is proposing that the EUDR take effect for large producers on December 30. Small and micro producers will still have until December 30, 2026, to comply.
