A majority of European Union countries have called for the bloc to reconsider a proposed law aimed at curbing deforestation, citing concerns over its potential impact on trade and economic growth. The law, which seeks to address the EU's role in driving deforestation around the world through the consumption of products like palm oil, soy, and beef, has faced pushback from several member states.
The European Commission introduced the legislation as part of its efforts to combat climate change and protect global forests. However, countries such as Hungary, Poland, and Romania have raised objections, arguing that the proposed measures could harm their economies and disrupt existing trade relationships.
