Update: Proposal is on the table to extend deadline
As the clock ticks down to the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), many in the forestry industry are feeling the pressure. With less than 100 days remaining, uncertainty looms large over how these new rules will impact daily operations.
Understanding the Challenge Ahead
The EUDR aims to combat deforestation and forest degradation by ensuring that products linked to these practices don’t enter the EU market. While the goal is commendable, the rapid approach of the deadline has left many small and medium-sized forestry businesses scrambling for answers.
A recent joint statement from European primary producers and industries highlights these concerns:
“Despite our efforts to be prepared for the EUDR’s implementation and repeated warnings over the past year, we are still missing adequate responses to our calls for clarity for a workable, harmonised implementation of the regulation. Our concerns have gone unanswered…”
