The European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) aims to reshape the global coffee trade by prohibiting products linked to deforestation, impacting coffee producers worldwide. While the EUDR could reduce carbon emissions, small farmers face challenges in meeting the stringent requirements, with concerns raised in countries like Vietnam, Brazil, Peru, and Ethiopia. Small farmers must adapt to more sustainable practices and provide traceable data to comply with the new laws, posing potential winners and losers in the coffee industry.

The UK government has abandoned its commitment to remove all EU laws by the end of 2023, instead proposing to revoke only around 600 of the almost 4,000 EU laws remaining since Britain left the bloc in 2020. The Retained EU Law (REUL) bill had aimed to automatically remove any remaining EU laws at the end of this year unless they were explicitly chosen to be saved. The decision has sparked warnings from business and the opposition about legal uncertainty and bureaucratic chaos.

The UK government has abandoned its plan to remove all remaining EU laws from British statute books by the end of this year, opting instead to draw up a list of about 600 specific laws that will be revoked. Critics had argued that the original plan was rash and unachievable, and that reviewing a huge number of laws in a rush would lead to rules being rewritten without proper parliamentary scrutiny. Business groups welcomed the decision, saying that the sudden removal of vast swathes of legislation overnight could make it harder for UK businesses to compete internationally.

The UK government has abandoned its plan to automatically expire thousands of EU-era laws at the end of the year, a move that was criticized for potentially leading to important legislation falling away by accident. The plan would have seen laws copied over to the UK after Brexit vanish, unless specifically kept or replaced. The government will now replace the cut-off point with a list of 600 laws it wants to replace by the end of the year. The Retained EU Law Bill, which began its journey through Parliament during Liz Truss's premiership, would have introduced a 31 December cut-off date for the laws to expire, unless the government replaced or decided to retain them.
