While these calls are being made for a delay to EUDR implementation, there appear to be very significant legal and political obstacles to these being acted upon. <\/span>As a representative of the European Forest Owners Federation (CEPF) has suggested (in the latest newsletter of the German GD Holz wood trade association) \u201ca postponement is unrealistic, as this would require a new legislative procedure involving the Parliament, Commission and Council (the EUDR having already come into force in mid-2023)\u201d.<\/p>\n

In public statements, European Commission officials are not countenancing any talk of delay or flexible interpretation of the law. According to the Reuters report on 26 March, the EU Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius \u201cquestioned why countries had raised concerns about the policy a few months before EU Parliament elections in June, when they had spent years negotiating the deforestation law and approved it last year.\u201d The Commissioner is reported to have told a news conference that \"of course, we will listen to the arguments, but I honestly don't see any issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, on 8 March EC Environment envoy Emanuele Pitto told Paraguayan exporters in Asuncio\u0301n that there \u201cwould be no turning back from Rule 1115 [EUDR] banning raw materials and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation\u201d.<\/p>\n

The EC envoy emphasised to his Paraguayan audience that \u201call those involved get acquainted with the regulation and understand that the requirements are adapted to the needs of consumers\u201d. He said that \u201cif Paraguay wants to continue exporting to the countries of the bloc, if it is interested, it will do so by adapting to the [EUDR] requirements, but not of the European Union, but of the consumers\u201d.<\/p>\n

This implied, said the envoy, that exporters wanting to supply the EU must \u201cdemonstrate the origin of their products and that they are free of deforested land, for which the country needs a traceability tool or system that can geolocate whether or not the product comes from deforested land\u201d. Furthermore in \u201ccase of non-compliance, sanctions and confiscations would ensue\u201d<\/p>\n

The Financial Times returned to the subject of EUDR in an opinion piece headed \u201cThe global downside of European consumers\u2019 green principles\u201d published on 21 March. This comments that \u201cEurope might be struggling for long-term economic growth, but its regulatory productivity is unsurpassed\u201d.<\/p>\n

The central observation of the FT article is that the EU\u2019s regulatory drive is not at all due to the \u2018protectionist\u2019 instincts of domestic producers in the EU. Instead, \u201cEuropean public and consumer sentiment, or at least campaigners\u2019 influence, is now one of the most powerful forces determining swaths of EU trade policy and hence global regulation\u201d. This observation seems borne out by the fact that there seem to be at least as many objections to EUDR implementation now coming from the wood- working industry inside the EU, as from external suppliers of the regulated commodities.<\/p>\n

Environmental campaigning organisations were also quick to criticise the calls for a delay to EUDR. In an \u201copen letter to EU governments\u201d signed by 46 NGOs issued on 28 March the EU is urged to \u201cuphold its commitment to combat global deforestation and forest degradation both at home and abroad\u201d. \u201cAny delay in implementation would hamper its credibility,\" the NGOs wrote, adding: \u201cWe urge all Member States to be at the forefront of a fast and effective implementation of EUDR, instead of falling for industries\u2019 lobbying efforts.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
