SFIF supports extra phasing-in time for EUDR, calls for key clarifications
The Swedish Forest Industries Federation (SFIF) welcomes the additional 12 months proposed by the Commission to ensure proper implementation of the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). SFIF urges the Council and the European Parliament to approve the Commission’s proposal swiftly.
SFIF fully supports the intention of the regulation: to stop deforestation and forest degradation associated with several specific raw materials and products, primarily agricultural crops and livestock, wood and fiber products, and solid biofuels.
“SFIF and its member companies are committedly working on a swift and effective implementation and we are actively proposing workable solutions to responsible government agencies and EU institutions. It is important that the announced guidance and updated FAQ will provide urgent clarifications on how the implementation practically can work in a harmonized way globally. The greatest uncertainty that must be addressed relates to traceability and how it will work through industrial facilities”, says Viveka Beckeman, Director General of the Swedish Forest Industries Federation.
President von der Leyen stated in her political Guidelines for the next European Commission 2024-2029 the need to make business easier and faster - reducing administrative burdens and simplifying implementation. SFIF acknowledges today’s announcement to be a first step in that direction.
