\nAfter the recent postponement, the EUDR will apply to large and medium-sized companies from 30 December 2026. Small enterprises will be required to comply from 30 June 2027.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Operators and traders placing the commodities soya, palm oil, rubber, cocoa, coffee, timber products and cattle on the EU market for the first time must demonstrate through a defined due diligence process that their goods were produced deforestation-free (cut-off date 2020) and in accordance with national laws in the country of cultivation, and confirm this via a due diligence statement (DDS). The goods must be traceable back to the field, including geolocation data. \u00a0Only the first downstream operator must collect and retain the corresponding reference numbers from the primary operator but not check or verify the information. After the first downstream operator, the due diligence stops.<\/p>\n
In April 2026, the EU Commission will present a further simplification proposal, but this is not intended to make any fundamental changes to the new legal text.<\/p>\n
As a member of the EUDR Expert Group, Donau Soja has the opportunity to discuss open questions directly with the European Commission and to inform our partners first, to be as well-prepared as possible.
However,\u00a0the following information is not legally binding<\/strong>\u00a0and may need to be adjusted in the course of the process as new information from the EU Commission becomes available.<\/p>\nDirect support for you<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The EU imports millions of tonnes of raw materials every year, for which forests are cleared in other parts of the world. Especially for animal feed, we import about 35 million tonnes of soya every year, mainly from South America, where forests and other valuable ecosystems are converted into agricultural land on an unimaginable scale. According to the FAO, 90% of global deforestation is caused by the expansion of agricultural land. Due to the complexity of the global supply chains of so-called bulk commodities, we often do not know where exactly they come from. However, studies show that the EU is the second-largest cause of global deforestation. This is where the EUDR comes in: The complex supply chains are to be disentangled, so that we can exclude recently deforested areas from EU supply chains and only buy from farmers who do not clear forests.<\/p>\n

The cut-off date for deforestation in the EUDR was defined as 31 Dec 2020. This means that areas that have been deforested since 1 Jan 2021 will be excluded from the EU supply chains. The cut-off date is not affected by the postponement of the EUDR.<\/p>\n
The EUDR goes even beyond the legislation in the countries of cultivation: Even areas that have been legally deforested in the country of cultivation after 31 Dec Jan 2020 are excluded.<\/p>\n

Medium sized companies must apply the EUDR from 30 December 2026, only small businesses must apply the EUDR six months later \u2013 from 30 Jun 2027.<\/p>\n
SME traders may only make relevant products available on the market if they document information on buyers and sellers, including reference numbers of the former DDS, and store them for five years. If a DDS already exists for a relevant product, SMEs do not have to complete the whole due diligence process but only have to pass on the reference numbers of the existing DDS.<\/p>\n
A new category of \u201csmall and micro primary producers\u201d has been introduced. These actors are based in a low-risk country and grow the products themselves and are only required to submit a one-off, simplified declaration. The simplified DDS can contain the address of the fields instead of geodata, harvest quantities can be based on estimates, and it only needs to be renewed in the case of fundamental changes.<\/p>\n
In EU Member States where all the information required for the DDS is available in a system or database, micro or small enterprises are not required to submit a one-off simplified declaration; instead, Member States must make this information available for each enterprise in the information system. After the company has been assigned a declaration number, it may then place the products in question on the market or export them.<\/p>\n
Small companies is defined as not exceeding more than one of the following three criteria (based on EU Directive 2013\/34\/EU \u2013 Article 3):<\/p>\n
\n
- Balance sheet total: EUR 7,500,000 \/ Net turnover: EUR 15,000,000 \/ Average number of employees: 50<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium-sized enterprises do not exceed more than one of the following three criteria:<\/p>\n

- Balance sheet total: EUR 25,000,000 \/ Net turnover: EUR 50,000,000 \/ Average number of employees: 250<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The competent authority of each EU member state is responsible for checking the respective imports and exports to and from the country. For imports from low-risk countries, 1% of relevant goods and operators are to be checked each year, for standard-risk countries 3% and for high risk countries 9% of operators and goods. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Penalties can be up to 4% of the company’s turnover in the EU. In addition, companies can be temporarily excluded from public tenders or banned from placing relevant products on the market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to prepare<\/h3>\n
When getting prepared for the EUDR you have to consider the following aspects:<\/p>\n
1) Is your company small, medium, or non-SME?<\/span><\/p>\n
2) Analyse your\u00a0supply chain<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Do you purchase\u00a0relevant products?\u00a0<\/strong>(see Annex 1 or \u201cWhich soya is covered by EUDR\u201d below)<\/p>\n
If so<\/p>\n
\n
- What information about these products do you have already?<\/li>\n
- What information is missing? (Gap analysis see Article 9 EUDR or \u201cInformation collection\u201d below)<\/li>\n
- Where do I get the products from? (suppliers, countries..)<\/li>\n
- What are the risks?<\/li>\n
- What do I do or can I do to mitigate the risks?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3) Establish a\u00a0timetable for the changes<\/strong>\u00a0needed in your company.<\/span><\/p>\n
This could include:<\/p>\n
\n
- Action plans towards EUDR compliance<\/li>\n
- Involving suppliers \u2013 What do my suppliers know\/do?<\/li>\n
- Prepare IT system and look into API testing<\/li>\n
- Analyse what tools and certifications are available and fit for your purpose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

The Role of EU Farmers and Companies<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u200bThe first due diligence process and the completion of the first DDS always lie with the first market participant located in the EU who makes the goods available on the market. Companies outside the EU can only issue a DDS that is not legally binding, hence the first company in the EU must always upload the first legally binding DDS.<\/p>\n
Soya farmers in the EU are the first operators of the soya and thus responsible for ensuring the legality and deforestation-free production of the soya as well as completing the DDS. However, a couple of simplifications were introduced:<\/p>\n
\n
- Farmerscan authorise the next level of the supply chain to fill in the DDS (e.g., the storage facility or cooperative)<\/li>\n
- A new category of \u201csmall and micro primary producers\u201d has been introduced. These actors are only required to submit a one-off, simplified declaration, e.g. the use of postal addresses instead of geolocation for the plots of land.<\/li>\n
- In EU Member States where all the information required for the DDS is available in a system or database, farmers are not required to submit a one-off simplified declaration; instead, Member States must make this information available for each farmer in the information system. After the farmer has been assigned a declaration number, it may then place the products in question on the market or export them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For EU farmers, the EUDR requirements may vary slightly between member states, but the overall aim is consistent across the EU. For example, the German Ministry of Agriculture (BMEL) has outlined specific guidelines for German farmers:<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat specific obligations do agricultural businesses in Germany have?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
The following applies to primary producers in Germany: They do not have to introduce a due diligence system on the farm but must record their production areas using geolocalisation coordinates.<\/p>\n
\n
