Clifford Chance published a briefing on recommendations from the European Parliament for an EU-wide due diligence framework covering imports of forest and ecosystem-risk commodities. The recommendations are broader and more stringent than the UK government's parallel proposal.
The briefing analyses the key differences between the two.
A binding EU due diligence rule could raise compliance costs and limit imports of soy and palm oil linked to deforestation, which would weigh modestly on export demand for those commodities. The proposal is still at the recommendation stage, so the price impact is limited for now.

After 400 past bearish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.1%), and +0.2% over 20.
