Leather is excluded from the EUDR

The scrutiny period ended without the Council or the European Parliament raising any objections to the Commission’s delegated act. And so the measure is now final: bovine leather is excluded from the EUDR. All that remains is its publication in the Official Journal. Since 2021, the tanning industry has been explaining to European institutions that including bovine leather at every stage of processing on the list of goods and products subject to the regulation would not have helped the fight against deforestation. On the contrary, it would have distorted the global market to the detriment of EU companies. The industry’s valid arguments have finally been recognized.
