The Directorate-General for Environment of the European Commission has published a new document providing an overview of how the obligations apply, depending on the company type (operator/trader), size and position in the supply chain within the EU, illustrated through 10 different supply chain scenarios.
The rules mentioned in the 10 different supply chain-specific scenarios of this document generally apply equally for all relevant products (also see Annex I). The document, which is supported with different graphics related to the scenarios, also includes a table that summarises the level of due diligence obligations by company type, position in supply chain (first placing/downstream) and size (non-SME/SME).
This document is not legally binding; its sole purpose is to provide information on certain aspects of the EUDR. It does not replace, add to or amend the provisions of the EUDR, which establishes the legal obligations.
