MEPs Amendments on EU Deforestation Regulation Will Help Simplify Implementation on Irish Farms
IFA President Francie Gorman has said that the outcome of the vote to endorse the simplification of the EU Deforestation Regulation will be important.
“While the objective of the Regulation is logical, the implementation of it at farm level was going to be onerous and potentially very bureaucratic for farmers. Today’s amendments should pave the way for a more streamlined application of the regulation at farm level in Ireland,” he said.
The implementation of the additional Zero – Risk category is also deemed as an important element of the regulation by the IFA, as it would make requirements easier to meet for farmers.
Mr. Gorman praised the IFA Office in Brussels and expressed hope that the talk which have been held with the Parliament and Council will allow for the desired outcome before the end of the year
