Regulating Forests: Monitoring the Impacts of the EUDR

Creates a long-term plan to protect nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems by 2030.

Aims at protecting and improving the health of existing forests, especially primary forests, and significantly increasing sustainable, biodiverse forest coverage worldwide.

Establishes a licensing scheme for controlling the legality of (listed) timber and timber products imported into the EU. This licensing scheme is to be implemented through agreements between the EU and timber-producing countries.

Prohibits the placing on the EU market of illegally harvested timber, or products derived from such timber, irrespective of their domestic or foreign origin.

Set of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

Highlights the justifications for EUDR and the need of a more protective forest regulation.
