Frankfurt/Brussels, 26 November 2025 – Commenting on the vote on the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in the European Parliament, VDMA Executive Director Thilo Brodtmann said:
‘The European Parliament has done the right thing in further reducing the bureaucracy surrounding the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Now it's all about the trilogue negotiations. An end to the nail-biting wait for practical implementation of the regulation is long overdue.’
