Dear subscriber,

The Commission has today published its simplification package for the EU Deforestation Regulation. Please see the Commission press release here.

The package delivers on the commitment made to the European Parliament and the Council under the simplification review clause and includes the following elements:

• Updated FAQs and Guidance documents;
• A draft Delegated Act on the product scope, now open for a four-week public feedback period, accompanied by a Staff Working Document with the methodology underpinning the proposed changes;
• A Report to the European Parliament and the Council;
• A draft Implementing Act governing the Information System, to be sent to representatives of the Member States in the EUDR Committee.

The Commission remains committed to supporting all stakeholders in preparing for the entry into application of the Regulation by the end of 2026.

Kind regards,

DG ENV Deforestation Team
