The proposed EU law on deforestation-free products
The briefing analyzes the proposed EU law on deforestation-free products, which aims to replace the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR). It highlights improvements such as the expansion of covered commodities to include cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, and soya, and the introduction of a 'deforestation-free' criterion alongside legality requirements. The document notes strengthened due diligence for large traders, mandatory geo-localisation coordinates for traceability, and more rigorous compliance check requirements for Member States. However, it warns of definitional ambiguities regarding 'forest' and 'deforestation' and criticizes the failure to include criminal liability for serious violations.
