This Regulation concerns the following commodities and related agrifood products: cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood. Publication means the timetable for meeting the new requirements is now clear. From 30 December 2024, operators in these value chains must be able to demonstrate that commodities and products exported to the EU are “deforestation-free” (were produced on land on which no deforestation has taken place after 31 December 2020) and “legal” (produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production).
