Austria\u2019s agriculture and economy ministers have urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to postpone implementation of the new EU anti-deforestation regulation (EUDR), scheduled for January 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n

The call for a delay came in a letter dated 27 April signed by Austria\u2019s minister of agriculture, Norbert Totschnig, and economy minister Martin Kocher, addressed to von der Leyen and EU Commissioners Maros\u030c S\u030cefc\u030covic\u030c, Janusz Wojciechowski, and Virginijus Sinkevic\u030cius.<\/p>\n

The Austrian officials claimed that the looming implementation of the EUDR presents \u201cinsurmountable challenges\u201d for the responsible Austrian authorities and affected businesses.<\/p>\n

They attributed these difficulties to \u201cunnecessary bureaucratic hurdles\u201d that EU countries would face if the rules were enforced without classifying countries or regions into three different categories (high, standard and low) based on the risk of deforestation.<\/p>\n

Under the new rules, shipments coming from higher-risk countries will be subject to stricter checks, while requirements for buyers sourcing products from low-risk regions will be simplified. However, the Austrian officials noted that in 2025 all countries \u2014 including EU member states \u2014 may fall under the standard risk category since the Commission has hinted at postponing the initial classification until next year.<\/p>\n

The Austrian representatives wrote: \u201cThe lack of classification by the EC [European Commission] for low-risk countries means disproportionately higher control efforts and increased due diligence obligations for all market participants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Austrian officials claimed that their proposal received backing from 22 EU countries, including Finland, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden, during a Council meeting in March.<\/p>\n

Several farming ministers, including representatives from Germany and Latvia, echoed the calls during meeting of the EU Agriculture and Fisheries (AGRIFISH) Council on 29 April.<\/p>\n

The president of the EU AGRIFISH Council, Belgian minister David Clarinval, told Euractiv that over a dozen member states had voiced support for delaying the implementation of the EUDR.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, EU Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski stated that he would advocate for postponing the implementation of the rules for an additional year within the Commission. \u201cI presented into the internal work of the Commission support for this proposal, and I think it is needed,\u201c Wojciechowski said.<\/p>\n

While these calls are being made for a delay to EUDR implementation, there are significant legal and political obstacles to these being acted upon. Since the EUDR has already been enacted (on 31 May 2023) and published in the Official Journal of the EU, any postponement will require a new legislative procedure involving the Parliament, Commission and Council.<\/p>\n

The responsible European Commission agency (DG ENV) has not indicated any intention to delay implementation. Environmental non-governmental organisations are also very actively lobbying in Brussels against any moves to delay or amend the law.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
