🇪🇺On Thursday Nov 14th, the European Parliament is scheduled to vote on the European Commission's proposal to delay the EUDR implementation to 30 December 2025. At the same time, motions have been tabled for further postponement and amendments to the regulation's content. At Paulig Group, we firmly support the EUDR and its goals. For years, we have worked towards more environmentally and socially just value chains, particularly in our coffee supply chains. Since the regulation came into force in June 2023, we have increased our focus and pace on addressing traceability on no-deforestation. We hope to see the Commission's proposed 12-month delay approved with no further amendments to the regulation's content. Changes to the regulation’s content would dilute its impact and, at this point, create unnecessary confusion and disruption on implementation, as well as legal uncertainty. It is crucial that the regulatory environment remains predictable. This is needed to allow businesses to make well-informed, carefully planned investments and to use our resources and expertise effectively to meet regulatory expectations. Picture from my colleague Salla Sulasuo's recent travel to our coffee origins in the Cauca region of Colombia.

Closing LIEI 51(4), Rena Eliz Hänel analyzes the novel 'Sustainable Food Systems' chapters in EU Trade Agreements, arguing that they focus on regulatory cooperation while lacking commitments that could use trade to steer food production toward sustainable practices. https://lnkd.in/d7kSw6uG

🥇Great summary about the heated debate regarding delaying the EUDR. ⏲
🚨🌲#EUDR - To delay or not to delay!? A brief Friday recap of the past days: 1) The number of public letters, statements, communications demanding the EU Commission to delay the start of the EUDR is ever increasing. 2) Concerns have been raised by industry initiatives, individual companies, members of governments, flagging that practical implementation is not feasible within the short time left. 3) Last week, a spokesperson of the European EPP party quoted European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as “said she would propose either a postponement or another temporary solution within days”. 4) However, this Wednesday, the EU Commission has informed the German national competent authority (Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung) that it will stick to the planned EUDR implementation date on December 30, 2024! Is this Ursula von der Leyen's final official communication? We don’t know yet, but clearly, this is NOT signalling an official delay! Have you already started to put everything in place? If you need support in understanding what a pragmatic, best-effort approach should look like now, do reach out! #EUDR #duediligence #supplychain LRQA - sustainability Erin Lyon Peter Teuscher Jens Winkler Marcela Romero Merino Catalina Girón Giraldo Chandler Thornton

I think German sociologist Max Weber talked about how bureaucracy ossifies, self-perpetuating, and self-serving, regardless of the positive intention of a political party, ideology, law, or policy. Not to mention that Italian economist Wilfredo Pereto (the Pereto Principle - the 80/20 rule) implies that 20 percent of the people are doing 80 percent of the real work. Maybe this helps explain why the Supreme Court ruling against the administrative state by declaring the Chevron Deference unconstitutional. Some might also include regulators of pharmacy, drugs, environmental policy, etc. But food ia a great example since there are ingredients in processed food (e.g. cereals) that other parts of the world prohibit, and American bureaucrats approve, and not because the bureaucrats see merit. Follow the money. Money, money, money, money 💰 Muuuuunnneeehhh! https://lnkd.in/evgjwGSz

In the last ChargeUp Europe meeting, our Public Affairs Manager Juriën Koster presented on the evolving landscape of AFIR and the Public Charge Point Regulations (PCPR 2023) in the UK. With AFIR and various National Access Points (NAPs) being rolled out across Europe, CPOs have to navigate a myriad of data requirements. With a wide range of different data formats and attribute requirements that change rapidly, compliance is not easy. At Eco-Movement, we can ensure compliance on behalf of CPOs for virtually all NAPs and data sharing regulations globally. If you're facing the complexities of AFIR, NAPs, or PCPR 2023, let's talk – our experts are here to help.

The European Union (#EU) has recently started to propose dedicated chapters on Sustainable Food Systems (#SFS), which encapsulates the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of food #sustainability in a holistic manner. The article by Rena Eliz Hänel explores the question of whether and in which ways the regulatory approach advanced in SFS chapters in recent EU trade agreements reflects the holistic approach of the SFS framework. It argues that although SFS chapters cover a broad range of policy issues, they do not address the key issues of food security and demand-side interventions.
