Virginijus Sinkevicius emphasized that the delay in the EU's deforestation law undermines credibility, stating, 'A last-minute change does not give credibility to the EU's decision-making.' He believes the additional year acts as a reward for industries that have not complied with environmental standards.
Sinkevicius argued that a grace period could have helped solve implementation problems instead of reopening negotiations, stating, 'That additional year was a bit of a reward to those who did not try hard enough in order to comply with the legislation.' This highlights his concern for fair competition among businesses.
