According to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/821, the Commission has to present a review on the functioning and effectiveness of the Regulation to the Council and European Parliament every three years. The first review report was published on 24 September 2024. The 2027 review will focus primarily on how to improve the implementation and enforcement of the CMR in the EU. It will also seek to analyse 3TG supply chains feeding into the EU market and the uptake of due diligence by EU companies and the role of due diligence schemes. Further, the review will seek to identify concrete potential for easing burden on businesses under the current Regulation. The review will cover notably burden on SMEs and how facilitative measures (existing or new ones) can contribute to ease this burden, whilst not changing the reporting requirements foreseen in the regulation and keeping the alignment with the OECD international standard. The review will be desk-based and include stakeholder consultations
Any travel to Brussels (or any other location) needed, for instance to support the stakeholder consultations under Task 3, is possible but not separately reimbursed — all travel costs must be included in the global lump-sum price (honoraria) Regular coordination meetings between the contracting authority and the contractor will be primarily held online Conference calls may be set up as appropriate in view of the progress of the work One to three virtual workshops with relevant stakeholders to be organised by the contractor after submission of the inception report Public stakeholder consultation envisaged to be carried out through a web-based consultation (questionnaire[s])
