The Commission has published a report on the simplification of the revised EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and a set of further measures for a smooth and effective implementation following the agreement of co-legislators last December. These measures will provide additional clarity to economic operators, Member States, third countries, and other stakeholders, while guaranteeing legal stability and predictability. With this package, the Commission delivers on its commitment to the European Parliament and the Council to carry out a simplification review of the revised Regulation and prepares for the entry into application of the regulation by end of this year.
The measures include a report to the European Parliament and the Council, an updated guidance document and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and a draft delegated act on the product scope of the EUDR. In addition, the Commission is presenting an updated implementing act on the Information System to Member States.
The draft Delegated Act is open for public feedback until 1 June 2026.
Further details are available through the European Commission’s official documentation and press materials.
