EU deforestation regulation (EUDR)

What is the purpose of the Regulation?

The main driver of deforestation is the expansion of agricultural land linked to the production of commodities such as cattle, timber, cocoa, soy, palm oil, coffee, rubber, and certain derived products like leather, chocolate, tires, or furniture.

Under the EUDR, any operator or trader placing these goods on the EU market or exporting them from the EU must be able to demonstrate that:

• The products do not originate from recently deforested land and do not contribute to forest degradation;
• They are produced in compliance with applicable laws in the country of origin, including those related to human rights;
• They are covered by a due diligence statement.
