EUDR Spring Update: What Changes following the Simplification Review?

The EUDR regulatory landscape is shifting again.

The European Commission’s Simplification Review is due by 30 April 2026, with a mandate to assess the regulation’s administrative burden and impact, particularly for smaller operators, and potentially accompany the review with a legislative proposal.

At the same time, the amended implementation timeline remains in place, with EUDR applying from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators, and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises.

That means companies cannot afford to pause. Even if parts of the framework are adjusted, the preparation window is already shrinking.

Join Tim Kühn, Senior Sales Engineer at LiveEO, for a practical session on what the latest developments mean for your compliance programme, where companies are getting stuck in implementation, and how to make meaningful progress now.

Whether you are still building your approach or refining an existing setup, this webinar will help you separate signal from noise and focus on the actions that matter most.

What will be covered
– What changes after in the April 2026 Simplification Review, and what doesn’t
– Key implications for operators
– Where companies are getting stuck in implementation, and how to fix it
– How TradeAware by LiveEO supports end-to-end compliance: from geolocation data collection to Due Diligence Statement submission
