The European Parliament's Environment Committee published its report A9-0219/2022 on the proposed regulation to block commodities and products linked to deforestation from the EU market and export flows. The proposal covers cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy and wood, and the report sets out the committee's amendments ahead of plenary votes.
The text is still a legislative draft and does not yet take effect.
Future due-diligence rules could raise compliance costs and tighten EU access for palm oil and soy, which is mildly bearish for EU-bound flows over time. The near-term price effect is limited because the regulation is not yet law.
