EVP circumstances: Design rules in Brussels abandoned!

EVP circumstances: Design rules in Brussels abandoned!

The EU faces a significant turning point in forestry policy: Shortly before the decisive vote on the EU renovation regulations (Eudr) On November 14, the conservative European People's Party (EPP) withdrawn six of its 15 amendments. This sudden tipping over, which is due to massive internal pressure, reveals many questions about the seriousness of the EVP, as the Freedom Member Mag. Roman Haider criticizes the EVP. He describes the withdrawal of the so-called "no-risk category" as a betrayal of forestry and as a deception that only serves its own political theater, such as APA-OTS reported

This controversial category would have excluded states without risk of deforestation from the strict regulations of the regulation. This means that countries that are already strong for sustainable practices could suffer from the pressure of the EVP, although they originally voted for the proposal. Internally, there are concerns that the Eudr could lose without this category, which could significantly delay the legislation, such as EURAKTIV . The EPP has not only withdrawn its support for the "No Risk" category, but also the originally approved one-year extension of the adjustment phase. In the meantime, industrial divisions are concerned about the continued changes because they have already invested in compliance with the existing regulations.

The negotiations in these last hours before the vote could be crucial for future legislation and the protection of the forests. While the EVP tries to consolidate its position and to mobilize voices from the right -wing factions, the uncertainty about the final result of the vote remains. Critics argue that a "no risk" category that could be a kind of discrimination undermines the basic principles of environmental protection and could result in long-term damage to the global supply chains. The outcome of this debate is observed by various interest groups, and the coming days could have a decisive impact on forestry in the EU.
