🔔 EUDR Guidance Update: Insights for Compliance On November 13, 2024, the European Commission published a new EUDR Guidance Document to assist stakeholders in navigating the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). While it provides helpful clarifications, it’s important to remember that guidance documents are not legally binding. They aim to support the uniform interpretation and implementation of the regulation, but businesses must always align their practices with the legal text itself. 📑 Key Highlights of the Guidance: - Definitions clarified for terms like "deforestation-free" and "forest degradation." - Detailed instructions for meeting traceability and geolocation requirements. - Updates on risk-based due diligence methodologies to assess supply chains. 💡 Why It Matters: The guidance is a valuable resource for businesses striving to comply with the EUDR, helping operators better understand the regulation's requirements and align their systems. However, ultimate compliance depends on adherence to the legislative text. 📄 Explore the Guidance Document: https://lnkd.in/eBbMdTQH 🔧 How Can We Help?

🌳 What’s Next for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)? 🌍 Following the release of the latest guidance documents for EUDR compliance, the European Commission is moving full speed ahead with the regulation’s implementation. These documents are designed to help businesses navigate the complexities of the law, but what comes next in the EUDR journey? Here are the key steps to look out for: 🔗 1. Phased Rollout of the Due Diligence System The EU Deforestation Due Diligence System is up and running, but the Commission will continue refining it. Businesses will need to register and submit their due diligence statements, ensuring full transparency of supply chains related to forest-risk commodities. 📅 2. Proposed Extension for Stakeholders While the EUDR's official start date was set for December 2024, the European Commission recently proposed a one-year extension. This would delay the application until December 2025 for large companies and June 2026 for SMEs—pending approval by the European Parliament and the Council. 📜 3. Enhanced Support for Stakeholders Over the next months, the European Commission will: - Provide additional guidance to help companies comply with the complex requirements of the regulation. - Host training sessions for stakeholders, Member States, and operators. The hybrid format training series is expected to expand in October and continue throughout 2025. 🌍 4. Strengthened International Cooperation The Commission will intensify dialogues with global partners, ensuring that the country benchmarking system is finalized by mid-2025. This system will classify countries into low, standard, or high risk based on their deforestation rates, guiding businesses' due diligence efforts. 💡 5. Continued Adaptation and Clarifications Expect further updates and revisions to the guidance documents based on real-world application. The Commission has emphasized that the guidance will evolve as stakeholders provide feedback and gain practical experience with the regulation. At 11Foundry, we are closely following the Commission's actions and ready to help you prepare for compliance with EUDR.

#EUDR Update: Date of Application Postponed by 12 months Today, the European Union has published Regulation 2024/3234 in the Official Journal of the EU, postponing the date of application of the European Union Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) by 12 months. The Regulation states that: - Postponement to December 30th, 2025 except for Small and Micro Enterprises where the date is June 30th, 2026. - A Country Risk Classification System will be introduced by June 30th, 2025. - A Regulation Review is scheduled for June 2028 to simplify processes and reduce administrative burdens for businesses. This means that companies and authorities will have one more year to prepare for the EUDR. I advise companies to make the most of this extra time and consider exploring solutions that not only ensure EUDR compliance but also contribute to broader sustainability efforts. This delay is an opportunity to build a more sustainable and responsible feed industry. Let's not waste it. #EUDR #NoDeforestation #DueDilligence #ResponsibleSourcing #Soy #PalmOil Link to the publication: https://lnkd.in/eApi9M9N
