All businesses will have one more year to comply with new EU rules to prevent deforestation.
Large operators and traders will have to apply the regulation from 30 December 2026, and small operators – private individuals and enterprises with under 50 employees and an annual turnover related to the products concerned of less than €10 million – from 30 June 2027. This additional time is intended to guarantee a smooth transition and to allow time to improve the IT system that operators, traders and their representatives use to make electronic due diligence statements.
