With the regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR) the EU aims to counteract the global loss of forest areas. The EU has compiled all the relevant information on the following website: Implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation.
From the end of December 2026, relevant raw materials, finished and semi-finished products may only be placed on the EU market, made available on the EU market, or exported from the EU if:
- they have been obtained without causing deforestation,
- the relevant legislation of the producing country has been complied with, and
- a due diligence statement in accordance with Annex II of the deforestation regulation has been submitted, proving the above.
