Resumo
The European Deforestation-Free Regulation (EUDR) presents both opportunities and challenges for producing countries. The Regulation brings a different approach to international forest governance as it lays down rules regarding the ‘placing and making available on the European Union (EU) market, as well as the export from the Union’ of seven specific commodities and their subproducts: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy, and wood. With only six months remaining until the Regulation enters into force, uncertainty still surrounds practical aspects of its implementation. Despite the postponement of the norm by one year to allow for better preparation, many stakeholders across supply chains continue to face challenges in understanding key aspects of compliance. Important updates and regulatory developments marked the first half of 2025. These changes provide insight into the EU's approach to EUDR enforcement and offer guidance for exporting countries on how to comply with the Regulation. As such, it is currently necessary to present an overview of these recent developments in order to facilitate a more profound comprehension of the EUDR's updates and their impact, to identify potential gaps in current compliance systems, and to define concrete strategies to meet the requirements by the deadline. With this in mind, the present report will analyse the three new key elements of the EUDR, namely updates on the Guidance and the Frequently Asked Questions document - FAQ (‘new documents’), the Delegated Act (and its public consultation) and the benchmarking system. This report will contribute to identifying the main EUDR updates this year and outline potential next steps concerning the norm’s implementation.
