There are concerns among market operators that serious disruptions in all commodity supply chains may follow soon on the supply of essential goods for the European market, such as food, feed, biofuels and more.
The EU market operators and traders are working hard to prepare their supply chains and adapt their systems and due diligence processes for compliance with the EUDR, as significant adjustments are needed from suppliers, operators and traders to support a successful implementation of the EUDR. They express serious concerns regarding the pace of preparation of EUDR-related legislative acts, the mandatory systems (i.e. Information System), and the guidance and clarifications required for implementation by operators and traders and enforcement by competent authorities.
