The European Commission has proposed a one-year delay to the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) due to pressure from businesses, sparking criticism from environmental NGOs. The EUDR aims to restrict the entry of products linked to deforestation into the EU market unless they meet sustainability standards. Companies like Vollers, a logistics firm in Belgium, support the delay for more preparation time. Critics highlight the EU's significant role in global deforestation and warn that postponing the regulation could have serious long-term environmental impacts. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
