The European Union has again delayed a ban on imports tied to deforestation, including soy, beef, cocoa, and palm oil.
Confirming the delay on Sept. 23, EU Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall said the delay was needed to fix problems with the IT system that will track all products covered by the deforestation law, from producers to importers, both inside and outside the EU.
The bloc’s anti-deforestation regulation (EUDR) would bar imports of palm oil, coffee, cocoa, beef, timber, and rubber unless companies can prove they were produced without deforestation.
First postponed from 2024 to December 2025, it is now set to be delayed again….
