Canadian Ambassador tells European Union that deforestation rules are burdensome
Canada's ambassador to the EU has voiced concern with proposed European Union rules to curb deforestation.

Ailish Campbell, the Canadian Ambassador in a November letter said the deforestation rules will add "burdensome" requirements and will hurt trade between the EU and Canada. The European Union aims to limit the trade of products linked to deforestation worldwide. Climate campaigners called the resistance of Canada to the rules "shocking".
