Given feedback received, the Commission proposes to give stakeholders
additional time to prepare for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 also known by its acronym
EUDR.
If approved by the European Parliament and the Council, it would make the law applicable on
30 December 2025 for large companies and 30 June 2026 for micro and small enterprises.
Since all the implementation tools are technically ready, the extra 12 months can serve as a phasing-in period to ensure proper and effective implementation.
Given the EUDR's novel character and the variety of international stakeholders involved, the Commission considers that a 12-month additional time to phase in the system is a balanced solution to support operators around the world in securing a smooth implementation from the start.
The Commission has published further guidance documents that can be found at the following links:
