Appreciate it the slides could e circulated to the participants. Best Elisabeth Walaas

thanks Astrid for the very interestring presentation.did you study the possibility that land before 31/12/20 will be used for the 6 commodities and new deforested areas will be used for other crops ? How can we address this risk ?

sorry, we don't see the charts scroll. I do not know if it is a technical problem

no slide for this intervention

ok, perfect Doct. Patacconi

Thank you for the quesiton Mario. Yes, the Impact Assessment looked into several problems related to leakage, including the possibility that deforestation is displaced to other commodities outside the scope. One fix for that potential problem is the progressive scope put forward in the proposal, meaning that the scope of commodities will be assessed regularly, and potentialy expanded, according to new deforestation data - while maintaining the cut-off date of 2020.

👍 Thanks Diego

is there a document available that clarifies the distinctions to be classified as a "low risk" verses a "high risk" region or production system???

and in assessing impacts of land management practices, how do "managed agroforestry systems" stack up against "natural forests"

Thank you Monika. The criteria for the classification and the consequences of the classification are contained in the proposal: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/publications/proposal-regulation-deforestation-free-products_en

Many thanks Diego!! :-)

Many thanks for your excellent presentation Hernando of the real challenges this presents for the coffee sector in Colombia (and worldwide)!!

thanks Mr. Duque

very clear explanation

I have to leave to attend another meeting. Guido Fernandez from NY office is connected. Thanks.

very good point Hernando, in many countries the average rate of deforestation is much higher than in the producing regions, this is an identification bias that unfairly penalizes producers

I wish to thank all speaker for sharing their knowledge and the ICO and Dr. Gerardo Patacconi in particular for the very interesting meeting and for the idea to organize it.i propose to have another occasion to deepen the discussion and move forward in more details and incorporating different points of view.thanks a lot.

Thanks Mario it is the first opportunity...we shall continue

Please find below a document detailing Brazil’s position with reference to the EU Proposal for regulationhttps://www.ico.org/documents/cy2021-22/ed-2403e-communication-brazil.pdf

It would be very helpful if you could forward this presentation as well to the participants. Thanks in advance!

all presentations and recordings and links will be shared

Perfect, thanks.

We assembled some ideas from an academic point of view to balance inclusion of smallholders in sustainable supply chains and zero-deforestation (conservation) outcomes, freely available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378021001369

Thanks.

Thank you Elisabeth for your presentation.

We also developed specific recommendations for a more smallholder-inclusive regulation with our partners Fern, FTAO, Solidaridad and Tropenbos International: https://www.fern.org/fileadmin/uploads/fern/Documents/2022/Including_smallholders_in_the_EU_regulation_on_deforestation-free_products-FINAL.pdf

Hope this presentation will be shared with participants who joined late

all will be shared including recording and llinnks to document

Absolutely, Gerardo

If cut off date is December 2020, coffee being a perennial crop, current production was produced by trees planted at least 5 years ago (2015). how are you going to assess this?

Last year in October 2021 GCP published the Coffee Sustainability Reference Code, a sector common understanding on the key topics of sustainability, including deforestation. You can find that document here. https://www.globalcoffeeplatform.org/our-work/coffee-sustainability-reference-code/

.

thank you, Gerardo and everyone for this fruitful meeting today

many thanks for this session.... I look forward to further conversations and yes -- with multiple languages would be ideal!

Thank you to ICO for coordinating such an interesting and relevant meeting.

Thank you to EC and to ICO for highly interesting presentation and dialogue. Together we will get to more sustainable coffee. Together with coffee farmers in first instance.

Really helpful meeting, many thanks to ICO for organising this.

Very insightful webinar. Thank you very much.

Thank you!
