The Council does not want to support the European Parliament’s call to amend the content of the EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR). With a large majority, including the German Federal Government, the Permanent Representatives of the member states reaffirmed their original negotiating position on Wednesday to only postpone the implementation deadline of the EUDR by one year. The Council and Parliament must now reach an agreement in trilogue negotiations, which are due to start this Thursday morning. If no agreement is reached, the next meeting could be scheduled for Dec. 3.
