# EU adopts final list of products covered by deforestation rules - Foreurope

> The European Commission adopted the final list of products covered by the EU deforestation regulation, excluding leather, certain palm oil-derived medicinal products, soybean seeds and palm oil waste used as biofuel feedstock. Soluble coffee, palm oil-based soap and some oleochemicals were added, with the new categories applying from December 2027. The delegated act can still be challenged by Parliament or the Council.

## Why it matters

Excluding some palm and soy products narrows the compliance burden on those flows, while the added palm-based categories extend it. The price effect is likely small and mostly affects EU-bound palm oil and soy sourcing terms.
