In the dispute over whether the EU regulation for deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR) should only be postponed or whether its content should also be changed, the EU Parliament and Council failed to reach a compromise on Thursday. The next round of negotiations is currently scheduled for Dec. 3, 2024. If it ends with an agreement, the law on postponement could be passed just before the originally scheduled start of application on Dec. 30. If this is not successful, the new rules would already take effect then – something neither the Council nor Parliament wants.
