EUDR
Our partner, Précon Consulting Group B.V., helps organizations comply with EUDR regulations step by step.
The EUDR has been formally adopted and remains in force, but the European Parliament formally approved a postponement and relaxation of the requirements on December 17, 2025, by a large majority. This means that the requirements will take effect on December 30, 2026, for large companies and from June 30, 2027, for SMEs. Furthermore, countries have now been classified as low, standard, or high risk. For low-risk countries, the focus is primarily on being able to demonstrate traceability and origin, without a comprehensive risk analysis. The focus will also be on the first party to market the products in Europe or the first to export from Europe. For companies further down the supply chain, the obligation will be reduced to a mere information requirement.
Even though the pressure is off for now, we recommend that your clients start preparing now, as this is quite complex legislation that requires a great deal of information and evidence. Moreover, the EUDR’s predecessor, the EUTR, has been in force since 2013.
We can support your customers with the implementation of the EUDR in the following ways:

These dates are yet to be announced, but they will be included on our Training Calendar.
