Statement from @US2EU on the @EU_Commission's proposal to amend and simplify the European Deforestation Regulation ↓

In its current form, the #EUDR represents the very regulatory pathology the Draghi Report diagnosed: excessive sustainability rules create unnecessary and fragmented burdens that stifle the EU’s competitiveness.

True simplification would preserve the EUDR’s objective, fulfill the EU’s commitment under the U.S.-EU Framework Agreement on Trade to avoid any undue impact on U.S.-EU trade, and comply with the co-legislators’ directive to remove the EUDR’s unnecessary regulatory burdens, all while keeping prices down for EU consumers. In the U.S., we call that a win/win.

On 31 May, 144 🇪🇺 Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) observers visited hundreds of polling stations across Colombia 🇨🇴. But their work does not stop on Election Day: observation continues through the vote count and beyond, supporting transparency and trust throughout the process. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action!

Elecciones presidenciales en Colombia, primera vuelta: los observadores de la MOE UE visitaron cientos de centros de votación en todo el país, desde la apertura de las mesas hasta el conteo de los votos.

Pero la misión también observó la campaña electoral, la cobertura de los medios de comunicación, el entorno digital y el marco legal que regula las elecciones. Estos y otros aspectos serán analizados en la declaración preliminar que la MOE UE presentará el martes 2 de junio en Bogotá. Inscríbete aquí: https://t.co/8QXNbLOs4n
