EU adopts the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on deforestation-free products (2023)
The EU Deforestation Regulation entered into force on 29 June 2023, requiring companies that place cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood, and products derived from them, on the EU market to prove they are not linked to deforestation or forest degradation after 31 December 2020. Its application was later postponed and the law underwent a targeted revision, but it remains the EU's flagship measure to curb imported deforestation.
