flag EU delays deforestation law to 2026–2027, requiring simpler compliance for businesses.

flag The European Parliament has approved a one-year delay to the EU’s deforestation law, pushing implementation to December 2026 for large businesses and June 2027 for small ones, citing the need for simpler rules and better enforcement. flag The law, aimed at blocking imports of deforestation-linked products like palm oil, soy, and beef, will now require only a one-time declaration from small producers and shift compliance responsibilities to the first business introducing goods into the EU. flag The vote, 402 to 250, reflects broad support for balancing environmental goals with economic realities, though environmental groups criticize the delay as a setback. flag Final negotiations with EU member states are expected before the law’s official publication.
