BRUSSELS/LONDON (Reuters) -- The European Commission said it would propose delaying implementation of a law banning the import of commodities linked to deforestation by a year on Wednesday, following calls from industries and governments around the world.
The law has been hailed as a landmark in the fight against climate change, but countries and industries from Brazil to Malaysia say it is protectionist and could end up excluding millions of poor, small-scale farmers from the EU market.
