The European Parliament has voted to postpone and amend the EU's deforestation law, which aims to prevent imports of products linked to deforestation. The law, initially set to take effect in 2024, will now be delayed by a year for large companies and six months for smaller ones. Amendments have been introduced to streamline processes and reduce burdens on importers, but environmental NGOs express concerns over lowered compliance standards. The vote reflects a shift towards a right-wing majority in Parliament, potentially impacting future environmental legislation.
