Food Ingredients First reported earlier this month, the European Commission proposed delaying the implementation of the EUDR.
This afternoon, the European Council has greenlighted the amendment, giving more time to better prepare for implementation.
“This postponement will allow third countries, member states, operators and traders to be fully prepared in their due diligence obligations, which is to ensure that certain commodities and products sold in the EU or exported from the EU are deforestation-free,” says a Commission statement.
This includes products made from cocoa, soy, palm oil and coffee.
The Council will now inform the European Parliament of its position in view of the Parliament taking a decision on its position.
The Council says the aim is to have the regulation formally adopted by both co-legislators and published in the Official Journal of the EU so that it can enter into force by the end of 2024.
