The signatories are right that EU #Deforestation Reg & other value chain regulations risk deepening, rather than alleviating, power differentials along the chain by pushing compliance costs down the chain. Necessary to require active capacity-building from lead firms &importers.

International law may have a limited imagination but looking at private law lack of imagination might feel more appropriate. But I'm too harsh. Suffice to say same applies here too.
