EUDR
Would you like to implement the new EUDR legally compliant?
The European Green Deal is the basis for Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the making available on the Union market of certain raw materials and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation and their export from the Union and repealing Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 (European Deforestation Regulation, EUDR), which entered into force on 29 June 2023.
The regulation fundamentally affects the seven raw materials wood, coffee, cocoa, rubber, soy, cattle and the oil palm. Products made from these raw materials are also affected, such as wooden seating furniture, pneumatic tires made from rubber, cocoa, soya and coffee beans, as well as beef. The relevant products are defined by their customs tariff number, whereby the scope of the regulation mainly includes product groups.
The EUDR obliges companies to fulfill a variety of due diligence obligations. These include, in particular, the obligation to ensure that the products that a company places on the market have been produced without deforestation and without damaging forests.
