The EU "Deforestation-free" Regulation in the time of simplification
Following the agreement reached between the European co-legislators in December 2025, the Commission published, on 4 May 2026, a report on the simplification of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, known as the “Deforestation-free” Regulation or EUDR, along with a series of additional measures aimed at ensuring smoother implementation by the time it enters into force on the 30 December 2026.
Omnibus VI: let the trilogue begin
Following the European Parliament’s adoption of its position on Omnibus VI (the European Commission’s proposal to simplify the requirements applicable to chemicals) during its plenary session on 29 April 2026, the focus now shifts to the trilogue – the negotiations between the Commission, the Council and the Parliament.

Omnibus VI: the controversy continues
The European Parliament’s amendments to Omnibus VI (and in particular Article 15 of the Cosmetics Regulation on CMRs), adopted by the Committee on 15 April 2026, have not settled all concerns. Whilst industry representatives welcome the prospect of an “effective regulatory framework”, consumer organisations and certain politicians are up in arms.
