Nineteen EU countries have requested the simplification and delay of the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), citing burdens on farmers and businesses. Critics argue these changes could undermine efforts to combat forest degradation in Europe.

EU deforestation law to be delayed as new threat emerges from EU-Mercosur trade deal - Greenpeace European Unit The EU's deforestation law will be delayed after right-wing attempts to gut it failed, but the EU-Mercosur trade deal could still deal the deforestation law a fatal blow

🌿 MEPs have voted to delay the #DeforestationLaw #EUDR by one year, seeing off a right-wing attempt to gut it

🚨 One year of delay is bad enough, but the #EUMercosur deal agreed last week could deal the EUDR a fatal blow

Our analysis:

It's official, the EU #DeforestationLaw will be delayed by one year. 👎

🔥 EU consumption will continue to cause deforestation in third countries unchecked.

🙏On a positive note, the @eppgroup.bsky.social 's suggestion to weaken the law has been dropped and the text will not be changed.

🌳Good News: Das EU-Gesetz für weltweiten Waldschutz (EU Deforestation Regulation – #EUDR) bleibt stark! Die Versuche der Europäischen Volkspartei Schlupflöcher zu schaffen, wurden gestoppt.👏

❌Bad News: Umsetzung verzögert sich um 1 Jahr. ⏳ Start: 30.12.2025!

Christine Schneider MEP:

The last laugh is always the best!

Let’s revisit this in a year when the @ec.europa.eu presents a proposal and we see who came out on top.

Perhaps we should ask the companies what they think about the agreement?

EU agrees to delay anti-deforestation law by one year But the EPP’s proposal to weaken the law failed, in a blow to the center-right group’s anti-red tape drive.

#DeforestationLaw

Excellent news: the law survives untouched!
Bad news: the law is delayed by one year

#EUDR will apply as intended, without the loopholes that the EPP shamelessly tried to create

The clock is now ticking to be ready for 30 December 2025

We ensured that the new law does what it is meant to: diminish illegal deforestation. We must not penalise those who are already managing forests sustainably. We need to help them continue doing so.

Second, from 2028, countries practising sustainable forest management and showing no deforestation will have the opportunity to be exempted from unnecessary red tape.

First, data platforms tracking product origins and a risk classification system will be operational at least six months before the law takes effect.

We successfully postponed the implementation of the #DeforestationLaw by one year, giving European businesses, foresters, and farmers the planning security they need while protecting them from excessive bureaucracy.

Tonight, decision-makers in Brussels meet to decide the fate of the EU #DeforestationLaw

A one-year delay is bad enough: the loopholes the EPP wants to create would be a disaster.

It's crucial that governments don’t back down.

No changes to the Deforestation Law! #EUDR @greenpeace.eu

An activist holds a banner reading "Forest protection now!" in German. In the background, the words "Act now" are written in sawdust in huge letters on the ground, in a recently clear-cut section of forest in Montabaur, Germany, 2021.

EU citizens demanded a strong law to protect forests.

The EPP:
Led negotiations,
Voted for it,
Celebrated it.

Two years later, right before the law kicks in, EPP:
Wants to delay it,
Wants to create loopholes,
Makes a huge mess,
Calls the clean-up "irresponsible."

Deforestation law: EU governments reject chaotic amendments sought by MEPs - Greenpeace European Unit EU governments have rejected a set of amendments that the European Parliament voted for last week and which would dramatically weaken the EU deforestation law.

#DeforestationLaw: "Conservative and far-right MEPs tried to carve out loopholes bigger than the Amazon rainforest at this late, late stage, and it cannot be tolerated."

We're urging EU governments: take a stand and save the #EUDR

Member States' block on the Deforestation Law is irresponsible! Ambassadors from the Member States, led by Germany, France, and Spain, have rejected the changes to the Deforestation Law adopted last week by the European Parliament under the leadership of the EPP G...

The behaviour of these Member States is irresponsible!

"They are obstructing urgently needed changes to the #DeforestationLaw that could stop illegal global deforestation and protect European companies, foresters and farmers against unreasonable bureaucracy," says Christine Schneider MEP.

Our forests, in the hands of the trialogue.

Gekippte EU-Verordnung: Abgeholzter Waldschutz Der Kampf gegen Entwaldung hat im EU-Parlament einen Rückschritt erlitten. Das ist nicht nur für die Natur beunruhigend.

Nicht nur für den #Wald Europas ist das eine schlechte Neuigkeit: mit den Stimmen der extremen Rechten von #AfD, Le Pen, Orbán & Co. wurde im EU-Parlament zusammen mit konservativen Kräften die EU-Entwaldungsverordnung gekippt. #EUDR #DeforestationLaw

Today, the new #EUParliament has postponed the #deforestationlaw for another year 😡 We're running out of time for people and the rest of nature 🌳

🚨One step forward, three steps back: landmark EU #DeforestationLaw to go through trilogues...again🚨

While world leaders meet at #COP29Baku to tackle the climate crisis, the European Parliament has approved amendments that significantly weaken the #EUDR.

Deforestation law: the dismantling of the EU Green Deal has begun, but it can be stopped - Greenpeace European Unit Greenpeace is calling on the European Commission to withdraw its proposal to delay the EU deforestation regulation, to prevent further damage after MEPs voted to critically weaken the law.

The European People's Party has teamed up with the populist and extreme right in an attack on the EU #DeforestationLaw

The European Commission must now withdraw its proposal to stop the EPP's amendments from creating chaos, confusion and destroying forests
