Kohtas Marketplace
At Kohtas, we've built a Marketplace where the sellers are
leading accounting (Big4) and legal firms with unparalleled
expertise in global regulations. They curate and update
regulation rules and risk assessments on a daily basis, ensuring
the data we provide is always accurate and up-to-date.
With our unique business model, you only pay when you do
business in the EU, and we take a percentage commission from
each transaction. This approach not only is cost-effective but also allows you to
switch from fixed regulation information costs to variable
costs.
What is the most challenging aspect of the EUDR?
What does "relevant legislation of the country of production" mean?
Relevant commodities and products can only be placed on the
EU market if they are deforestation-free and comply with the
relevant legislation of the country of production, Art. 3
(b), Art. 2 (40) EUDR.
"Relevant legislation" may include, among others, national
laws (including relevant secondary law) and jurisprudence as
well as international law as applicable in domestic law. The
Regulation presents a non-exhaustive list of legislative
areas without specifying particular legal acts, as these
differ from country to country and may be subject to
amendments. According to the definition, the legislation
listed in letters (a) to (h) must be interpreted
as being linked to the area of production. For the
legislation on environmental protection, the meaning and
purpose stipulated in Art. 1 EUDR should be taken into
account. Therefore, legislation with a link to the
protection of forests, the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions or the protection of biodiversity is relevant.
Relevant documentation is required for the purposes of the
risk assessment, Art. 9 (1) (h), 10 EUDR. Such documentation
may, for example, consist of official documents from public
authorities, contractual agreements, court decisions or
impact assessments and audits carried out. In any case, the
operator has to verify that these documents are verifiable
and reliable, taking into account the risk of corruption in
the country of production.
The Commission will issue a specific guidance document on
legality in due course.
