EUDR timeline shows delays and shifts in enforcement dates for the EU's anti-deforestation law, initially set for December 2024 but now postponed to December 2025 for large firms and December 2026 for small operators. Proposed changes include a new ‘negligible risk' category to ease compliance, and revisions to reduce the administrative burden by around 30%. Recent modifications backtracked on earlier proposals, maintaining the original deadline for larger businesses while extending the timeline for smaller ones. The industry should prepare for imminent enforcement despite ongoing regulatory changes.
