EU co-legislators have agreed to extend the application timeline of the EU Deforestation Regulation
On 3 December, the EU Commission, EU Parliament and EU Member States reached a provisional agreement to delay the EUDR application requirements by 12 months, as initially proposed by the Commission on 2 October. The agreement does not imply any further changes to the EUDR text, beyond the amendment of the application dates.
To reach an agreement between the parties, the Commission committed to ensuring that the EUDR Information System—a centralised platform for submitting due diligence statements—and the country benchmarking system will be fully operational at least six months before the new application deadlines.

In addition, the Commission will help companies and national Competent Authorities to implement the legislation with future iterations of the EUDR FAQ, Guidance and training. amfori has actively contributed to the legislative and implementation processes of the EUDR and will continue to support its members through the amfori Deforestation Policy Group.
