EU Deforestation Regulation [EUDR] Proposals [Part 2]

Visible to anyone in the world
Proposals postponed back to 2026
The European Commission is considering a second delay to the landmark EUDR with enforcement possibly postponed to 30 Dec 2026.
Originally set for 2024, the law targets deforestation-linked goods like soy, palm oil, beef, wood & cocoa. Businesses trading with the EU must prove their products are deforestation-free and legally sourced.
Why the delay?
The latest proposed EUDR delay isn’t about policy, it is about infrastructure.
The EU’s central IT system critical for due diligence reporting is nott ready to handle the data volumes. Without it, enforcement could choke global trade.
The rules are not changing: I. Covered goods must still be deforestation-free II. Due diligence statements still required III. Penalties: up to 4% of annual EU turnover
