ETRMA expresses regret towards EUDR delay

The EU Council has agreed to postpone the application of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by 12 months, a decision that the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers Association “regrets”. The tyre makers’ representative believes that pushing back the start dates “brings a new phase of uncertainty” into an industry that “needs predictability, and action from the European Commission to bring further clarity and solve the remaining issues standing in the way of a full and fair implementation of the Regulation.”
