What we do to this planet is disturbing. (I know I don't bring in anything to this conversation but felt like saying it.)
I mean sure, it's not the most daring stance to take on treehuggers... Still, beats being numb.
requiring exporters of cocoa, cattle, rubber, soy, wood, palm oil and coffee to demonstrate their products don’t come from land deforested after December 31, 2020
I was wondering when they would draw the line to distinguish the end of deforestation being 'acceptable'. Although, I guess it is all a wash if they cannot pass the regulation.
The EUDR entered into force the middle of last year but allowed an 18-month transition period that was originally scheduled to end in 2025,
So the regulation has already passed, but:
But less than a week after the WTO meeting, the EU introduced a legislative proposal that, if approved, would move back the deadline one year for large companies and 18 months for small ones. That means industrial agricultural producers would have until December 2025 to prepare for the law and small producers would have until June 30, 2026.
There are a lot of groups hating this law, as the EU is a large market.
