Don’t they realize people replant trees? I’ve planted several thousand this year.

Every field on the planet is a ‘deforested’ area................

[Skywise]

Idiots.

We will let our people starve and go cold from lack of shelter to assuage our own personal religious guilt.

[Little Ray]

No chocolate or meat for Euroweenies!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

...thereby driving up food prices in the EU. I have no idea why anyone would actually want to be part of the EU.

How do you have a coffee, palm oil, or cocoa plantation in a forest?

Do Europeans grow wheat in the forest?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

What cracks me up is the bit about wood products. To sell cut-down trees, you have to be able to prove that you didn’t cut down trees.

Wonder if crickets count. Probably not.

EU plans to ban food imports from deforested areas

The more I read about the EU bullies, the more I think the Russians should cut off natural gas to 'em unless they become "preferred customers" by buying deforestation products in bulk.

It's perfectly proper to tell SOCIALISTS what they ARE going to buy, or else.

EU...... We’re so damn good, we aren’t

[HereInTheHeartland]

“wood products are certified “deforestation-free”.

Well ok then!

NO MORE CUTTING DOWN TREES TO MAKE WOOD FOR YOU PEASANTS!!!!!!!!!!

[AZJeep]

The planet is, thanks to more Co2, greening.
As a matter of fact, we have too many trees in areas, e.g. California. That’s why we get all that forest fires!
If you do not cut the trees, the nature will burn them!

[Track9]

News flash. Every field is ‘deforested’. That’s so the SUN can hit the ground and WARM the earth.

[KarlInOhio]

So the EU won’t import from the Eastern US or most of the EU itself. OK, got it.

[ridesthemiles]

Organizing their own starvation....

WONDERFUL

[MattMusson]

Reality Check: People cut down trees to cook with them.

If you build a cheap coal fired power plant, people will leave forested areas alone. That is exactly why the Northern Hemisphere has more trees now than 100 years ago. Because people started burning coal instead of Trees.

[null and void]

Make them live up to their own rules.

[bert]

The UK and much of Europe was deforested to make charcoal

[cookcounty]

No more French wine! No more Italian wine! Oh, the humanity!
