The EPP does not want to simply postpone the regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR): German MEP Christine Schneider has tabled a series of substantive amendments on behalf of the group. The Christian Democrats had repeatedly criticized the text as being too bureaucratic. They are now calling for what they see as unnecessary burdens for companies to be removed. Schneider also proposes postponing the application of the rules by two years to Dec. 30, 2026, instead of one year as proposed by the Commission.
