There has been a postponement of the date of application of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 May 2023 on the making available on the Union market and the export from the Union of certain commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation (hereinafter “EUDR”).
The obligations under the EUDR were originally to start applying to large and medium-sized undertakings on 30 December 2025, and to small and micro undertakings from 30 June 2026. In December 2025, the Council of the European Union adopted a revision that postponed the obligations for all economic operators to whom the EUDR applies, so that the obligations under the EUDR are to start applying to large and medium-sized undertakings on 30 December 2026, and to small and micro undertakings on 30 June 2027. At the same time, the EUDR is to be revised so as to reduce the administrative burden that the EUDR places on economic operators.
