EU groups urge EUDR reform in Commission's 2025 review Call for legal amendments to reduce burdens and uncertainty23 July 2025 23 July 2025 2 minute read 2 minute read By: By: Global Ag MediaA coalition of European agri-food, forestry, and bioeconomy organisations is calling on the European Commission to include the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in its upcoming simplification proposals, citing legal uncertainty, disproportionate requirements, and administrative burden. The call follows the Commission’s December 2024 decision to extend the regulation’s implementation timeline—an action welcomed by the signatory organisations. The Commission has issued guidance and FAQs intended to clarify the EUDR, but the groups note these documents carry no legal weight and may be interpreted differently across Member States. They argue that true simplification must come through legislative amendments, not non-binding documents. They urged the Commission to take advantage of the upcoming Omnibus legislative packages to conduct a full review of the regulation.
