The EU Parliament supported simplification measures for the deforestation law, granting an extra year for companies to comply with new rules. The focus is on easing due diligence requirements and shifting responsibility to businesses introducing products to the EU market. The changes aim to address deforestation linked to EU consumption, with the law undergoing a simplification review by 2026. The law aims for the prevention of deforestation in products like cocoa, coffee, palm oil, and more, with EU consumption responsible for around 10% of global deforestation. This decision sets the stage for negotiations with member states to finalize the law by the end of 2025.
