STATI MEMBRI DELL’UNIONE EUROPEA: I VOSTRI OBBLIGHI DI ATTUAZIONE DEL NUOVO REGOLAMENTO DELL’UNIONE EUROPEA SULLA DEFORESTAZIONE INIZIANO OGGI
Summary
The document outlines the legal obligations of the 27 EU Member States following the entry into force of the EU Deforestation Regulation on June 29, 2023. It specifies immediate requirements for designating competent authorities and long-term requirements for establishing national sanctions and enforcement procedures by December 30, 2024.
Key insights
- EU Member States must designate one or more 'competent authorities' by December 30, 2023, which must possess the necessary resources, functional independence, and powers to investigate and apply sanctions.
- By December 30, 2024, Member States are required to adopt national rules establishing 'effective, proportionate and dissuasive' sanctions for non-compliance. These include the confiscation of non-compliant products and revenues, fines of at least 4% of total EU turnover, temporary exclusion from public procurement and funding, and bans on exporting or placing relevant products on the market.
- Member States must establish national administrative and judicial procedures that allow individuals and legal entities to provide evidence of non-compliance while protecting their identity, and provide access to legal review of the actions taken by competent authorities.
- Starting December 30, 2024, Member States must implement annual plans for quantitative and qualitative checks, monitor trade patterns to identify evasion, and authorize customs authorities to control declarations and suspend shipments of affected products.
