Following the European Commission’s announcement that it intends to postpone the launch of the new EU rules for deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR) by one year, the focus is now on Parliament and the Council. They will have to approve the amendment – presumably in a fast-track procedure, as there is little time left until December, the previously planned start date for the regulation. In Parliament, the plenary could vote directly instead of the relevant committee first. And the Council and Parliament can skip the trilogue negotiations if they both support the Commission proposal without amendments.
