DELAYED… DELAYED…


DELAYED…EUDRLAYED! Kicking the can down the road for 12 months!


At the time of writing, the European Commission has proposed a delay to the implantation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (‘EUDR’) by 12 months, from the 30th of December 2024 to the 30th of December 2025 for large companies & from the 30th June 2025 to the 30th of June 2026 for micro & small enterprises, subject to approval by the European Parliament and the European Council. This last bit, is not as clear and straightforward as it may seem, because if some Members of the EU Parliament decide to amend EUDR, then it will delay it even further. However, that may be the subject of another article whereas this one is a follow on to my earlier article on EUDR published in February this year ‘Cocoa Rising…and the chaos & race to the EUDR Deadline!’. You can find a link to it here…


In this current article, I will discuss two specific points. Firstly, the already quite vociferous responses to EUDR before it even has become operational and secondly, discuss some of the guidance and clarification the European Council has released to aid in compliance with the Regulation.
