The European Union agreed on Tuesday on a new law to prevent companies from selling into the EU market timber, coffee, beef, soy and other commodities linked to deforestation around the world.<\/p>\n

The law will require companies to produce a due diligence statement showing their supply chains are not contributing to the destruction of forests before they sell goods into the EU - or they could face hefty fines.<\/p>\n

\"I hope that this innovative regulation will give impetus to the protection of forests around the globe and inspire other countries at the COP15,\" said the European Parliament's lead negotiator, Christophe Hansen.<\/p>\n

Companies would need to show when and where the commodities were produced and \"verifiable\" information that they were not grown on land deforested after 2020.<\/p>\n

Failure to comply could result in fines of up to 4% of a company's turnover in an EU member state.<\/p>\n

Countries that will be impacted by the new rules, including Brazil, Indonesia and Colombia, say they are burdensome and costly. Certification is also difficult to monitor, especially as some supply chains can span multiple nations.<\/p>\n

Deforestation is responsible for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change and will be in focus at a U.N. COP15 conference this week, where countries will seek a global deal to protect nature.<\/p>\n

Negotiators from EU countries and the European Parliament struck the deal on the law early on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It will apply to soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa and coffee, and some derived products including leather, chocolate and furniture. Rubber, charcoal and some palm oil derivatives were included at the request of EU lawmakers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
