ESTADOS-MEMBROS DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA: As suas obrigações de implementar o novo Regulamento de Desflorestação da UE começam hoje

The document outlines the immediate and medium-term legal requirements for EU Member States following the entry into force of the EU Deforestation Regulation on June 29, 2023. It specifies the need to designate competent authorities by December 30, 2023, and to establish national regulatory frameworks by December 30, 2024, including sanctions such as fines of at least 4% of total EU turnover for non-compliance.

• EU Member States must designate one or more "competent authorities" by December 30, 2023, which must be equipped with "the adequate powers, functional independence and resources" to enforce the Regulation.
• By December 30, 2024, Member States must adopt national rules for sanctions that are "effective, proportionate and dissuasive". These sanctions should include the confiscation of non-compliant products and revenues, temporary exclusion from public procurement and public funding, and fines amounting to at least 4% of the total EU turnover.
• Member States are required to establish national administrative and judicial procedures that allow natural and legal persons to report "grounded concerns" regarding non-compliance, while protecting the identity of the reporters.
• The Regulation requires the creation of an annual plan to ensure checks are performed starting December 30, 2024, and the authorization of customs authorities to control declarations and suspend shipments of relevant products until checks are complete.
