# European Parliament supports year-long deforestation law delay | Reuters

## Why it matters

A further one-year delay postpones the date when EU buyers must prove deforestation-free sourcing, easing near-term demand constraints on soy and palm oil into Europe. This reduces the chance of a compliance-driven premium emerging in 2026.
