Reactions from authorities, companies, and civil society to the postponement of the EU regulation for deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR), which was decided this week in Brussels, have been largely positive. „The postponement by one year allows us to prepare even better,“ said Annerose Lichtenstein at a Table.Briefings event. She is head of „deforestation-free products“ at the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), which will review the application of the EUDR. The authority would have been ready to go, said Lichtenstein, but the postponement until the end of 2025 means that it can be more accommodating to affected companies, for example in terms of IT applications.
