Know what the deforestation regulation requires from you, and from when: from official text to understandable answer
Four steps, every week again — and for this dossier, that is no formality.
Follow sources
EUR-Lex for the regulation and everything laid down under it, the implementation pages of the European Commission, and the competent authorities per Member State. The application date has been postponed three times and the product list was adjusted in July 2026; those who don't follow this are left with outdated information.
Link to topics
For each new publication, it is determined which of our pages it affects. What doesn't affect anything stays in the log and is not published.
Write and review
The text is written on the basis of the sources and put through a technical check: no undertakings, no tailored advice, no figure that doesn't come from a source. After that, a person reads it through.
Update, don't rewrite
If something changes, we supplement the article. The title, the address and the existing paragraphs remain — so that you recognise a page you read before.
And if something goes wrong?
Every assertion is linked to an article in the official text. Monthly, it is checked whether those references are still correct: does the article still exist, and is the quotation still there word for word? If it no longer matches, the page receives a flag and the date of the last successful review does not move up. The article numbers mentioned in the running text are also checked against the legislative text.
Our platform starts by monitoring official sources. We regularly check the websites of the European Commission, national government institutions and accredited certification bodies. These are the places where changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) first appear.
As soon as we notice an official document, we analyse its content thoroughly. We look at what actually changes for companies in your sector. Not everything is equally important in practice, so we filter out what is relevant for Dutch SMEs.
Next, we translate legal language into understandable Dutch. The regulation discusses 'risk mitigation' and 'due diligence procedures' — we explain what this concretely means for your suppliers, your record-keeping, your deadline. We specify exactly which products fall under the EUDR and when you must act.
Finally, we test everything against the actual implementation dates. The EUDR has different phases: January 2025 for large companies, June 2025 for medium-sized, December 2025 for smaller enterprises. Details like these determine whether advice applies to you today or only in six months.
All these steps ensure that articles on eudri.com are not just opinions, but directly usable information that aligns with your actual obligations and deadlines.
