The European Commission is poised to postpone the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by a further year.

EUDR was adopted by the European Parliament and by leaders of the 27 EU member states in June 2023. The regulation was originally due to come into application for large operators in December 2024 and for smaller companies in June 2025. But in October 2024, the European Commission announced an initial year-long extension to allow companies more time to put the necessary traceability systems in place.
