The EUDR Information System relaunch: what changes from June 2026

Every due-diligence statement is filed through the EU's Information System, and that system is being relaunched in June 2026, with additional functionality arriving through the summer ahead of the 30 December 2026 application date for large and medium operators. The relaunch was announced as part of the Commission's May 2026 simplification package (press release IP/26/941), alongside a draft Implementing Act on the system itself.

The four changes named by the Commission

• A simplified declaration form for MSPOs, aligned with the existing DDS format rather than a separate schema.
• Updated API specifications for system-to-system filing, which is how compliance software submits on an operator's behalf.
• A contingency plan for when the system is unavailable, so an outage does not block goods at the border.
• A voluntary grouping feature, letting operators group multiple submissions.

In parallel, the Commission is working with member states to let data already held in national databases flow into the system directly, which for many of the smallest producers removes the need to interact with it at all (Art. 4a(4)).

What to do before December

• Do the work that does not depend on the system: plot geolocation, deforestation screening, the legality record per supplier and the risk assessments are all due diligence you can complete and document now.
• Make sure whatever software you use is built against the renewed system's API, not the older specification.
• If you buy from suppliers who might qualify as MSPOs, learn the declaration-identifier flow now; their identifier replaces a DDS reference in your records.

Sylva's case files end in a statement built to the renewed system's published API, and the submission step activates as the system accepts filings. Everything before that step, which is the actual due diligence, works today.
