The Commission adopted two measures on 13 July to support the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which will begin to apply by the end of December.
A Delegated Act updates and simplifies the list of products covered by the Regulation, while an Implementing Act sets out the functioning of the Information System for submitting due diligence statements and simplified declarations.
These measures build on the legislative amendment agreed in December 2025 and are part of the simplification package presented in May 2026. Together, they provide greater legal certainty for businesses, Member States and partner countries ahead of the Regulation’s application.
The Delegated Act updates Annex I of the EUDR, following stakeholder consultation and public feedback. It removes cattle hides, skins and leather, re-treaded tyres, soybeans for sowing, articles of vulcanised rubber, conveyor and transmission belts, and aircraft and motor vehicle seats from the scope of the Regulation. At the same time, it adds soluble coffee, certain palm oil derivatives and frozen cattle tongues.
