# EXCLUSIVE: EU to extend deforestation law to palm-derived chemicals | Rapporteur

> A draft EU delegated act would expand the EU Deforestation Regulation to cover more palm oil derivatives, including oleochemicals, while exempting palm-derived chemicals used in medicines. The draft also delays new product categories until 30 December 2027.
