The European Union has confirmed that the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will come into force on December 30, 2024, despite increasing pressure from international trading partners and internal EU member states to delay the rollout. Recently, the EU informed the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its decision, underscoring its commitment to legal certainty and environmental sustainability.
While some countries, including India, China, and the United States, argue that the regulation imposes non-tariff barriers and disrupts supply chains, the EU remains focused on combating global deforestation linked to imports. The regulation mandates strict due diligence, traceability, and the use of geolocation data for timber, pulp, and paper industries. However, some within the industry, particularly in Sweden, have raised concerns that the system will not be ready in time.
