German Minister for Agriculture Cem Özdemir (Greens) has once again called for the start of application of the EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (EUDR) to be postponed. The fact that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen apparently announced internally at an EPP group meeting last week that she wanted to review the timetable once again was a „glimmer of hope on the firmament„, said Özdemir on the sidelines of the EU Agriculture Council on Monday.
