Nová legislativa EU v rámci boje s odlesňováním – informační systém spuštěn

New EU legislation to combat deforestation - information system launched

In the eighth episode of our series we took a look at information systems and, as we informed you, at the time of its publication the launch of the information system was planned for December of this year. Today, the European Commission announced the launch of registration into the information system for economic operators at noon. As we have tried ourselves, the information system is indeed up and running.

The system should not yet allow submission of due diligence statements, but it should be possible to familiarise yourself with its functionalities and to better prepare for 'full operation'. At the same time, according to the published information, further training on the information system should be organised in the coming weeks, beyond the already published supplementing and supporting materials.

The Commission itself warns that the connection to the information system may be slowed down for the first few hours due to heavy load; however, we recommend following the quote chance favors the prepared mind and not delaying registration for too long, exploring the user interface, features and possibilities offered by the system as soon as possible.

We will keep you informed about further developments on the EUDR, including the discussed postponement of its applicability.
