Proposals to simplify EUDR threaten forest protection and EU’s credibility
16 June 2025
Over 40 organisations from across Europe, including Fern, have expressed their deep concern regarding the proposals for ‘simplification’ of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) presented by the Ministers for Agriculture of Luxembourg and Austria.
In a joint statement, they call on all EU institutions and Member States to stand by commitments made, to uphold the integrity of the EUDR, and to focus on enabling implementation — not dismantling a Regulation that is essential for forests, climate action, and global credibility.
