On July 23, 2019, the European Commission released a Communication detailing actions the EU could take to combat deforestation in the world. The EU wants European citizens to be able to consume products coming from “deforestation-free supply chains”. The next Commission led by President-elect Ursula von der Leyen is expected to propose regulatory and/or non-regulatory measures to that effect.
