European Commission to postpone EUDR for 1 year
Yesterday, the European Commission announced that the introduction of the EUDR is planned to be postponed by one year. This proposal still has to be confirmed by the European Parliament and the Council before it enters into force.
In addition, the long-awaited Guidance for EUDR implementation was published yesterday. It describes in 11 chapters which due diligence processes companies must introduce and how robust standards like Donau Soja may support the implementation. Furthermore, some of the most burning open questions are answered in an updated version of the FAQs. With the potential postponement, companies would gain one year to adapt to the EUDR requirements but the content of the EUDR is not planning to change. This is good news for many companies that are not prepared yet, but also bitter for companies that put already a lot of effort into compliance. In any case, companies still must prepare for the EUDR and Donau Soja continues to offer a solution to show compliance with EUDR requirements – but also for further coming requirements beyond: EUDR Info+Process – Donau Soja.
