Attendees at ethical palm oil roundtable flag slow rollout of EUDR’s digital compliance system

Quick Summary:

Growers and traceability platforms at the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil say the compliance portal for EU’s deforestation law – meant to kick in next month – only opened for registration last week and is not fully live yet.

There are also concerns now that the EUDR could be weakened from within, on the back of proposed further amendments by the European People’s Party last week, including calls for a two-year delay, the exclusion of large traders from nearly all obligations and the introduction a new category of “no risk” countries.

The regulation requires producers to submit satellite data about the origins of goods entering the EU market to prove that they were not grown on land deforested after December 2020 or in illegal areas, which can potentially be retrieved from existing platforms that businesses are using.
