In a bipartisan letter to United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai , the Senators expressed serious concern about the potential effects of the European Union Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) on the forest products industry, which collectively manufactures $350 billion worth of products per year and employs more than 920,000 Americans.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the European Union is scheduled to begin enforcing the EUDR which could negatively limit market access for the American forest products industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we applaud the EU\u2019s commitment towards reducing deforestation, the EUDR, as currently written, presents significant compliance issues due to its stringency and ambiguity. One specific concern is the traceability requirement. The EUDR imposes a geolocation traceability requirement that mandates sourcing to the individual plot of land for every shipment of timber product to the EU. In the U.S. , 42 percent of the wood fiber used by pulp and paper mills comes from wood chips, forest residuals, and sawmill manufacturing residues \u2013 wood sources that cannot be traced back to an individual forest plot. The EUDR traceability requirement will be nearly impossible for a significant segment of the U.S. paper and pulp industry to comply with,\u201d the Senators wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The Senators continued, \u201cAs USTR continues to engage with European regulators, we urge the agency to seek clarity on the EUDR\u2019s traceability requirements, data reporting, and country benchmarking. We ask that USTR encourage the EU to recognize that the United States has robust regulatory standards to protect the long-term health of U.S. forests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the North American Forest Foundation , more than one billion trees are planted each year in the United States and the total forest area increased by 18 million acres between 1990 and 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The letter is co-signed by another 24 US Senators.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Senators Marsha Blackburn and Angus King are urging the American trade representative to fight for American forest products industry in the global market.
