EP ENDORSES URGENCY PROCEDURE FOR AMENDED EUROPEAN DEFORESTATION REGULATION (EUDR)

On 23 October, Members of the European Parliament approved the urgency procedure for the targeted amendment to the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The Commission’s proposal is now scheduled for a vote during the next Plenary session on 14 November.

Once adopted, the amended regulation will move forward to receive formal approval from both co-legislators before its publication in the EU's Official Journal. This could allow the regulation to come into effect by the end of the year, delaying the implementation date of the EUDR with one year.
