Halt to deforestation-linked beef imports

Operators will have to prove that the products are deforestation-free – produced on land that was not subject to deforestation.

The EU is cracking down on the importation of beef and other products that are linked to deforestation.

The EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains, once adopted and applied, will ensure that a set of key goods placed on the EU market will no longer contribute to deforestation and forest degradation in the EU and elsewhere in the world.
