flag EU delays anti-deforestation law to Dec 2026 amid criticism over weakened climate goals.

flag EU member states have agreed to delay the implementation of the bloc’s anti-deforestation law (EUDR) by one year, pushing enforcement to December 2026, following pressure from Germany and other nations. flag The move, which grants longer delays for small operators and allows for a review before the law even takes effect, has drawn criticism from environmental groups who say it weakens the EU’s climate commitments. flag Originally set for December 2024 with a six-month grace period, the revised plan offers more flexibility but raises concerns over compliance, legal uncertainty, and global credibility. flag The European Parliament will now vote on its position, with final decisions pending.
