# EU urged to widen deforestation law - Insights - Trase

> Trase research commissioned by the Greens/EFA group finds the draft EU regulation would not protect Cerrado and Gran Chaco savannah and grassland. The rules apply only to land meeting the FAO forest definition. The EU is cited as the world's third-largest importer of commodities linked to tropical deforestation.
