Disclaimer: New EUDR developments - December 2025
In November 2025, the European Parliament and Council backed key changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), including a 12‑month enforcement delay and simplified obligations based on company size and supply chain role.
Key changes proposed:
- New enforcement timeline: 30 December 2026 for large/medium operators, 30 June 2027 for small/micro operators
- Simplified DDS: One-time declarations for small and micro primary producers
- Narrowed scope: Most downstream actors and non‑SME traders would no longer need to submit DDSs
- New DDS requirement: Estimated annual quantity of regulated products must be included
These updates are not yet legally binding. A final text will be confirmed through trilogue negotiations and formal publication in the EU’s Official Journal. Until then, the current EUDR regulation and deadlines remain in force.
We continue to monitor developments and will update all guidance as the final law is adopted.

Let's start with your role at Coolset. What's your position, and what does your day-to-day look like?
Jasper: I'm one of the sustainability researchers at Coolset, and have been here for about a year and four months. I started on the carbon management team, helping businesses onboard with their scope 1, 2, and 3 assessments. Now, I focus on helping customers comply with CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Together with the research team, I help build our CSRD software, which simplifies reporting within the Coolset platform.
