The date of application of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 that lay down obligations on operators, traders and competent authorities, listed in Article 38(2) of that Regulation, should be postponed by 12 months. This is necessary in order to allow third countries, Member States, operators and traders to be fully prepared, including, to allow those operators and traders to establish the necessary due diligence systems covering all relevant commodities and products, so as to be in a position to fully comply with their obligations.
