According to Federal Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir, the German government has not reached an agreed position on the amendments to the EU regulation for deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR). The German government supports the postponement of the rules, as does the Council as a whole, said Özdemir on the margins of the EU Agriculture Council on Monday. However, the substantive changes to the introduction of a new risk category for producer countries, which the Parliament had recently voted in favor of, were still being looked at until the meeting of EU ambassadors on Wednesday.
