New EU Deforestation Regulation: Understanding the New EU Deforestation Regulation

On May 16, the UE Council gave the final go-ahead to a regulation that aims to minimize the risk of deforestation and forest degradation associated with products that are placed on or exported from the EU market, setting mandatory due diligence rules for all operators and traders who place, make available or export the following commodities from the EU market: palm oil, cattle, wood, coffee, cocoa, rubber and soy. By the new EUDR, the operators will be required to trace the commodities they are selling back to the plot of land where they were produced. This will also take into account the protection of human rights related to deforestation. But exactly what does this mean for the producers and exporters of these commodities? How will companies operating within these commodities' value chains be affected and what demands will be placed on them? To answer these and other emerging questions, this project's first panel will focus on an introductory approach to regulation.
