🌳 #EU #deforestation law: one more year to comply ➡️ In response to concerns raised by EU member states, non-EU countries, traders, and operators that they would not be able to fully comply with the rules if applied as of the end of 2024, the EU Commission proposed postponing the application date of the deforestation regulation by one year. ➡️ Plenary agreed in October 2024 to deal with the proposal under the urgency procedure - Rule 170(6). On 14th November it agreed to this postponement as well as other amendments with 371 votes to 240 and 30 abstentions. ➡️ Large operators and traders would have to respect the obligations stemming from this regulation as of 30 December 2025, whereas micro- and small enterprises would have until 30 June 2026. ‼️ Parliament also adopted other #amendments proposed by the political groups, including the creation of a new category of countries posing “no risk” on deforestation in addition to the existing three categories of “low”, “standard” and “high” risk. Countries classified as “no risk”, defined as countries with stable or increasing forest area development, would face significantly less stringent requirements as there is a negligible or non-existent risk of deforestation. The Commission will have to finalize a country benchmarking system by 30 June 2025. Next steps Parliament decided to refer this file back to the committee for interinstitutional negotiations. In order for these changes to enter into force, the agreed text will have to be endorsed by both Council and Parliament and published in the EU Official Journal. #ESG #green #foodlaw

Valerio Palumbo has been one of my best employees. He was dedicated, focused, knowledgeable, very autonomous, and resourceful when he faced new challenges. And if he wasn't a great person, he would not have been hired. He will do great in any other context or with any team. Most importantly he left the company well. When you change your job - even if you worked very hard and well - what will be remembered is how you left. So leave with honesty, dignity, and without leaving a mess behind. Valerio was very open about the change and the motives, which were not linked to money, ambition, or issues with the company. For me was very rewarding discussing with him his experience in my company and feedback: in the end was proof that we can build a culture of openness and honest feedback in the corporate world. As a manager - and as a parent - I think that when you provide "children" with the tools to be great professionals and before that - great human beings - you can't do anything but watch them thrive and wish them the best. And be happy with it. #work #business #values

📌 In July 2024 the #EU Commission published new limits for #nickel in #food ⛔ In 2015, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted its Scientific Opinion on the risks to public health related to the presence of nickel in food and drinking #water. The opinion identified #reproductive and developmental toxicity as the critical effect for the risk characterization of chronic oral exposure to nickel. Eczematous flare-up reactions and worsening of allergic reactions were identified as the critical effect for acute oral exposure to nickel of nickel-sensitised humans. ❗ Even if some limits will be applicable only from 1st July 2026, and others from 1st July 2025, you have to be prepared for this.
