IGFA concerned for animal welfare as a result of
fuel protests

Fuel cost protests continue throughout the country and have blocked access to ports. 

Traffic has been stopped entering various ports including Foynes and Ringaskiddy and this has created huge problems for the animal feed sector.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

On 4 December, member states and MEPs reached an agreement on the revision of the EUDR

The agreement removed the ‘grace period’ initially proposed by the Commission for large and medium companies, opting instead for a clear extension of the application date for all operators until 30 December 2026, with an extra six-month cushion for micro and small operators. 

It simplifies obligations for operators and requires that only the business that first places a product on the EU market will be responsible for submitting the necessary due diligence statement.
