BRUSSELS, 2nd October, 2024 (WAM) -- The European Commission said on Wednesday it would propose to delay implementation of its flagship policy to fight deforestation by a year, following calls from industries and countries to do so, Reuters reported.
The deforestation law would, from 30th December, require companies selling soy, beef, coffee, palm oil and other products in the 27-nation bloc to prove their supply chains do not contribute to the destruction of forests.
