On 20 October 2025, the European Commission proposed a series of targeted measures aimed at ensuring the smooth implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The core contents are summarised as follows:Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
1. Core objectives:By simplifying procedures and setting transition periods, the aim is to reduce the compliance burden on companies (especially SMEs) while maintaining the intensity of the fight against deforestation, and to ensure that the relevant information systems can withstand the expected operational pressure.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
2. Main simplification measures:Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
• Simplification for downstream operators: For downstream companies such as retailers and manufacturers, the requirement to mandatorily submit due diligence statements is removed. Due diligence obligations will be concentrated primarily on upstream operators (such as importers) who first place products on the EU market, and subsequent commercial activities within the same supply chain will not require repeated submission of statements.
• Simplification for micro, small and low-risk operators: Micro and small primary operators (such as farmers) from low-risk countries worldwide will only need to submit a simplified one-off statement, replacing the previous requirement for periodic statements.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
3. Adjustments to the implementation timetable:Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
• Large and medium-sized enterprises: The date of application of the Regulation remains 30 December 2025, but they benefit from a 6-month grace period for checks and enforcement.
• Micro and small enterprises: The date of application of the Regulation is postponed to 30 December 2026.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
4. Background and next steps:The proposal is based on ongoing engagement with stakeholders and a reassessment of the information system's load. The European Commission calls on the European Parliament and the Council to adopt the amendment as soon as possible before the end of 2025. The Commission has also prepared contingency plans to address possible implementation issues. In summary, the new proposal aims to simplify the rules in a “smarter” way and clarify the timetable, ensuring operability while maintaining the Regulation's ambition.Artikel berasal dariFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/ms/31877/
