Change
EU governments backed a one-year delay to the EU Deforestation Regulation and reductions to due-diligence requirements.
Why it matters
The Council mandate would push core obligations to December 2026 and simplify operator and trader requirements, altering compliance timelines for covered commodities.
Implications
- — Commodity compliance teams must update EUDR readiness timelines — core obligations may move to December 2026
- — Operators and traders must monitor final trilogue outcome — due-diligence scope may narrow before enforcement
