EU delays deforestation law on imports until December 2025 to ease implementation for companies.

The European Parliament has approved a one-year delay for a new law that bans imports of goods like coffee, cocoa, and soy linked to deforestation, pushed back to December 30, 2025. The law aims to curb deforestation caused by EU commodity imports but faced opposition from industries and some trading partners, who worried about costs and bureaucracy. The delay is meant to ease implementation for companies while maintaining the law's environmental goals.
