On the morning of November 14, Cong Thuong Newspaper will organize a discussion on "EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) - What have Vietnamese enterprises prepared for the implementation date?"
The EU Anti-Deforestation Regulation was adopted by the Parliament on 29 June 2023 and will come into force in December 2024 for large companies and from 30 June 2025 for small and medium-sized companies. However, on 2 October 2024, the body published a proposal to postpone the implementation of the Anti-Deforestation Regulation. According to the new plan, the Regulation will come into force in January 2025 for large companies.
The scope of manufactured goods covered by the Regulation includes: livestock, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya, wood and certain products derived from these commodities. Under the Regulation, any operator or trader placing these commodities on the EU market or exporting from this market must demonstrate that the products do not originate from recently deforested land or have contributed to forest degradation.
The regulation aims to address deforestation, forest degradation, and forest conservation to reduce carbon emissions and biodiversity loss.
Among the groups of goods subject to the Anti-Deforestation Regulation, Vietnam has three main groups of goods affected, namely wood, rubber and coffee. Of which, coffee is the most affected because it accounts for 55% of export turnover, about more than 1.1 billion USD; followed by wood (636 million USD); rubber (252 million USD).
Since the EU Anti-Deforestation Regulation was adopted, Vietnam has been actively preparing and ready to meet the requirements of this regulation. However, many domestic small and medium-sized enterprises are still facing many difficulties in meeting the requirements of the Regulation. Some enterprises do not fully understand the regulations and do not have enough resources to implement an effective management system.
