# EUDR postponed and simplified: what Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 really changes - Greenlane

> Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 was published on 23 December 2025 after a political agreement on 4 December, postponing the EUDR and reducing administrative obligations for some supply chain actors. Without the amendment the rules would have applied from 30 December 2025. The fundamental ban on placing deforestation-linked products on the EU market is unchanged.

## Why it matters

The publication removes the risk of an immediate December 2025 start, giving importers of soy, palm oil and cattle products more time to adjust. Price impact is limited, but the delay shifts compliance costs into 2026.
