César Luena (S&D)
Article 34 of the EU Deforestation Regulations states that ‘no later than 30 June 2024, the Commission shall present an impact assessment accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal to extend the scope of this Regulation to include other wooded land’.
It further provides that ‘no later than 30 June 2025, the Commission shall present an impact assessment accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal to extend the scope of this Regulation to other natural ecosystems, such as grasslands, peatlands and wetlands’. The assessment shall also address the need and feasibility of extending the scope to other raw materials and extending or amending the list of products in Annex I.
In light of the above:
- 1.When does the Commission intend to present the impact assessment and proposal to extend the scope to other wooded land required by Article 34, bearing in mind that the deadline for doing so was 30 June 2024?
- 2.When does the Commission intend to present the impact assessment and proposal required by Article 34 to extend the scope to other ecosystems and raw materials, the deadline for which expires on 30 June 2025?
