epa10523283 Small farmers hold banners and signs during a protest against the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) outside Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) headquarters, against the backdrop of Malaysia's iconic building Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 15 March 2023. 'Representatives from each association took turns to highlight their concern about the detrimental impact of the Regulation on their livelihood and market access of Malaysia's commodities into the European Union (EU). They called for the EU to review its just targeting and protectionist mandates contained in the EUDR. Also of great concern is the labelling of Malaysia as a 'High Risk' country for deforestation under the EUDR, according to a press statement released on 15 March. EPA-EFE/FAZRY ISMAIL
