On May 22, the European Commission adopted the implementing act for the country benchmarking system under the framework of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This implementing regulation classifies relevant countries by risk level based on the deforestation risks associated with the production of the seven commodities covered by the EUDR (cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy, and wood). China has been included in the list of low-risk countries.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/29423/
Operators of relevant commodities in China will benefit from a certain degree of simplified supervision, but will still need to comply with some core requirements. For example, if operators can prove that their commodities are entirely produced in China (with no mixing of raw materials from high-risk countries), they will not be required to conduct complex risk assessments (such as deforestation and legal compliance), but they must still submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) declaring that the products meet the “deforestation-free” requirement (no new deforestation after December 31, 2020). At the same time, product traceability information (such as geolocation and producer information) must still be recorded. Going forward, the EU may dynamically adjust risk classifications, so attention should be paid to subsequent policy changes.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/29423/
As the primary certification bodies for organic soy and soy products in mainland China, IBD and FOFCC will continue to monitor updates to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), assist all relevant certified organizations in completing the submission of Due Diligence Statements (DDS) within the required timeframe, and strive to ensure the stability of exports of relevant products to the EU.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/29423/
