Brief retelling from RIA II
US Ambassador to the European Union Andrew Puzder has warned of a possible increase in consumer prices for diapers in the EU due to the Anti-Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
The EUDR requires producers to trace wood pulp back to its source, a policy opposed by the US, Canada, Malaysia and at least five other countries outside the EU.
MOSCOW, September 25 - RIA Novosti. US Ambassador to the European Union Andrew Puzder warned that consumer prices for diapers in the EU could rise due to the bloc's anti-deforestation regulations (EUDR).
“The EUDR will lead to higher consumer prices without reducing deforestation, with raw materials such as wood pulp used in diapers and other personal care products becoming more expensive from countries like the US that do not pose a deforestation threat,” the ambassador told the European edition of Politico.
