MEPs debate on a new law obliging companies to ensure products sold in the EU do not come from deforested land anywhere in the world. The new regulation, already agreed with the EU member states, helps fight climate change and biodiversity loss by preventing deforestation related to EU consumption of products from cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm-oil, soya, wood, rubber, charcoal and printed paper. Closing statement by Christophe HANSEN (EPP, LU), Rapporteur and by Stella KYRIAKIDES, European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety.
