EU Commission eases Deforestation Regulation reporting processes
Companies will now be allowed to submit just one due diligence statement per year, instead of one for every shipment.
The European Commission has amended reporting obligations under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to reduce administrative costs for companies.
The implementation of the law – which mandates EU importers of forest products to ensure their goods do not come from deforested areas – was delayed by 12 months last year, with companies now expected to comply on December 31, 2025.
