This includes products made from cattle, wood, cocoa, soy, palm oil, coffee, rubber, and some of their derived products.<\/p>\n<p>The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 420 million hectares of forest \u2014 an area larger than the EU \u2014 were lost to deforestation between 1990 and 2020. EU consumption represents around 10% of global deforestation. Palm oil and soya account for more than two-thirds of this. The deforestation regulation aims to fight climate change and biodiversity loss by preventing the deforestation related to EU consumption of products from cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm-oil, soya, wood, rubber, charcoal and printed paper.<\/p>\n<p>Provisions of the deforestation regulation \u2013 in force since June 2023 \u2013 are supposed to be applied from 30 December 2024. The postponement delays the application date of the regulation by one year. Large operators and traders would have to respect the obligations stemming from this regulation as of 30 December 2025, whereas micro- and small enterprises would have until 30 June 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The changes have been condemned by environmental groups. The European Environmental Bureau says: \u201cBy watering down the law and introducing a \u201cno risk\u201d category for certain countries, the EPP has effectively given the green light to further forest destruction, undermining our global forests, the climate, responsible businesses, citizens, and trust in EU decision-making.\u201d Proposal for a regulation amending deforestation regulation as regards provisions relating to the date of application \u2013 Council position<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/environment\/eu-council-agrees-extra-year-to-comply-with-deforestation-law\/\">EUbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/eu-council-agrees-extra-year-to-comply-with-deforestation-law\/\">EU Council agrees extra year to comply with deforestation law<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,10101,3051],"class_list":["post-135534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-deforestation-law","tag-ec"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135534\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
