We inform you that the European Parliament and the Council have decided to postpone the implementation of the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) for one year. Therefore, the new rules will apply from December 30, 2025.
Last Tuesday, Parliament and Council negotiators reached a provisional political agreement to delay the application of this regulation. Thus, large operators and merchants will have to comply with the obligations of the regulation from December 30, 2025, while micro and small businesses will have until June 30, 2026. This additional time aims to make it easier for companies around the world to implement the rules from the beginning, without compromising the objectives of the law.
The Council rejected the rest of the proposals.
The vote on this informal agreement between the co-legislators will be included in the agenda of the next plenary session of Parliament, which will be held from December 16 to 19. For the postponement to be effective, the agreed text must be approved by both Parliament and the Council and published in the EU Official Journal before the end of the year.
