<\/span>The European Commission (EC) has announced that it is simplifying due diligence requirements for EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance to cut the administrative load and cost for businesses. At the same time, it says it is stepping up dialogue on the EUDR and its requirement for deforestation-free commodity supply chains with third countries under its Strategic Framework for Cooperation and Engagement (SFCE).<\/p>\n

After being pushed back a year, the EUDR will come into force at the end of 2025 and six months later for small to medium-sized businesses. It requires evidence that importers and traders have undertaken due diligence to ensure commodities placed on the EU market are not implicated in deforestation or forest degradation. They must also provide geolocation coordinates for their origin. Besides timber and wood products, the EUDR covers cocoa, coffee, soya, palm oil, rubber and cattle\/beef.<\/p>\n

In making further compliance changes, the EC says it is responding to \u201cfeedback from international partners\u201d and \u201cdelivering on commitments\u201d made in December 2024 when the EUDR\u2019s introduction was delayed 12 months. It also pledged further steps to facilitate compliance, including new guidance and frequently asked questions (FAQ) documents, both of which became available on 15 April.<\/p>\n

The changes in compliance requirements were made public the same day. The key changes are: that large companies can reuse existing due diligence statements where goods previously on the EU market are reimported, so less information has to be submitted to the EUDR IT system; that authorised representatives can now submit due diligence statements on behalf of members of company groups; that companies can now submit due diligence statements annually, instead of with every shipment or batch of goods; and that the minimal legal obligation on companies under the EUDR for \u201cascertaining that due diligence has been carried out\u201d is that they collect due diligence statement (DDS) reference numbers from suppliers, which they can then use in their own DDS submissions.<\/p>\n

The EC says these amendments accord with \u201ckey industry demands\u201d and, in reducing the number of due diligence statements companies need to file, will result in an estimated 30% reduction in their administrative costs. \u201cThe goal of these simplifications for due diligence statements is to ensure easy and efficient data entry for all users,\u201d states the EC.<\/p>\n

Under the EU SFCE, says the EC, it has \u201cstrengthened dialogue with third-party countries, businesses, civil society and global partners to facilitate [EUDR] implementation and support preparation through dedicated meetings and online training.\u201d In 2024, the EC ran 300 meetings on the EUDR with stakeholders, with 50 training webinars produced for the IT system with places for 15,500 participants, plus videos in 50 languages.<\/p>\n

The SFCE objectives include facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue and cooperation on policies and actions to halt deforestation and forest degradation. That includes \u201cconservation and sustainable use of forests as well as sustainable land use, commodity production, processing, consumption and trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SFCE also aims to support EUDR-impacted third countries in securing economic incentives for preserving forests and investment in deforestation-free, legal and sustainable supply chains. Additionally, it will help producer countries transition to the latter, especially those with \u201cweaker capacity and high deforestation exposure.\u201d It is also engaging with other consumer countries to encourage adoption of measures to cut their contribution to deforestation.<\/p>\n

The EC has also increased the budget of its Team Europe Initiative to support partner countries moving to sustainable, deforestation-free and legal supply chains to \u20ac86 million. It adds that it is finalising the EUDR country benchmarking, which will rank countries as low, standard or high risk of deforestation and that this will be adopted no later than 30 June.<\/p>\n

It says that, following the latest changes, it will continue to respond to feedback on the EUDR from stakeholders, including partner countries, and to \u201cassist traders and operators with implementation on the ground.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
