Disclaimer: Latest EUDR developments
On 21 October, the European Commission proposed targeted changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). These adjustments aim to make the rollout smoother without changing the regulation’s overall goals.
Key points from the proposal:
- The 30 December 2025 compliance deadline for large and medium operators remains unchanged.
- Small and micro primary producers (such as farmers and foresters) may receive an extension until 30 December 2026.
- A transition period from January to June 2026 is planned for large and medium companies, giving them time to adapt before formal checks and penalties begin.
- New, simplified obligations are introduced for two groups: small and micro primary producers, and downstream operators (e.g. manufacturers, retailers).
