Cotance and UNIC-Italian Tanneries have organized a workshop entitled \u201cEUDR: Is leather a factor in deforestation? &#8211; Let&#8217;s bring the facts to the European Parliament.\u201d An important opportunity to reiterate once again that the tanning industry is not a driver of deforestation and that the inclusion of leather in the list of products subject to the Anti Deforestation Regulation is a macroscopic mistake.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1isb6qd7p0\">The initiative, as UNIC reports, will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and is \u201cpromoted by MEP Salvatore De Meo (EPP, Italy) in collaboration with representatives of the European leather industry.\u201d On the table will be \u201cthe results of the study conducted by the Scuola Superiore Sant&#8217;Anna (University of Pisa), on the impact of the EUDR on the European leather supply chain from an economic, social and environmental point of view.\u201d&nbsp;<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1isb6qd800\">Manuel Rios (Cotance president), Fulvia Bacchi (UNIC director) and Gustavo Gonzalez-Quijano&nbsp; (Cotance secretary general) will speak at the workshop.&nbsp;<span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1isb6qd870\">As repeatedly mentioned, the tanning sector has many good reasons to support the exclusion of its raw material from the Anti Deforestation Regulation because, as leather is a by-product of the meat industry, it is by no means a driver of animal husbandry and consequently neither of deforestation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1isb6qd8d0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1isb6mntd0\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A workshop organized by COTANCE and UNIC will be held in Brussels on June 3.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-flash-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
