🇨🇿 When Paper and Rubber Become a Compliance Challenge: A Guide to the Deforestation Regulation

The event is held in Czech language only!

The Regulation on Deforestation-Related Products (EUDR) imposes new obligations on operators, downstream operators, and traders who place or make available on the market or export relevant products listed in Annex I of the Regulation. These obligations may also apply to importers, manufacturers, and distributors operating in the medical device sector.

In this webinar, we will explain when certain products made of rubber, wood, pulp, or paper may fall under the scope of the EUDR and why the mere presence of these materials in a product does not necessarily mean that the regulation applies to it. We will focus on the roles of individual entities in the supply chain and on the practical implementation of a due diligence system, including the collection of necessary information, risk assessment, and any measures to mitigate those risks. We will also examine when packaging constitutes a separate relevant product under the EUDR and when it is “merely” the packaging of a medical device, to which the PPWR rules primarily apply. We will also cover working with the EUDR information system, record-keeping, setting up internal processes, and the risks associated with non-compliance, corrective actions, and penalties.

The goal of the webinar is to demonstrate how to correctly determine the scope of obligations and how to prepare for the new requirements in a timely and practical manner within the context of a specific company.
