Brussels – EU member states and the European Parliament have reached an agreement on new regulations aimed at tackling deforestation in rainforests. The decision finalized on Tuesday night includes a one-year delay in implementation, but the legislation itself remains unchanged.

The negotiations concluded with a compromise, facilitated by the EU’s new environment commissioner, Jessika Roswall, during discussions on Tuesday evening.
