This technical paper identifies opportunities for further Guidance that we believe will strengthen an effective implementation of EUDR.
ISEAL has been engaging closely with sustainability systems to understand how they are aligning and adapting in response to EUDR. In the process of adapting, sustainability systems have identified outstanding ambiguities in the Regulation and published FAQs (v1.2) which may hinder effective and consistent implementation of EUDR by operators and traders. Our paper identifies three opportunities for further guidance:
- Consistency in operator data collection and risk assessments
- Defining appropriate uses for declaration in excess
- Clarifying the compatibility of controlled mass balance CoC models.
