Italy’s national tanning industry body UNIC has said the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) represents “an operational threat” to the sector.

At its general assembly on July 1 in Milan, UNIC president, Fabrizio Nuti, told colleagues that this threat will remain in place unless “a correction to it” takes place at European level. 

By ‘correction’, Mr Nuti said he meant removing bovine hides from the list of products EUDR will affect or, at least, simplifying the bureaucratic burdens the regulation will impose on leather manufacturing businesses.
