The updated User Guide for Economic Operators is now available on CIRCABC and on the EUDR Information System website.
The guide provides detailed instructions for creating and managing Due Diligence Statements (DDS) and Simplified Declarations (SD) under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). It also explains the main functions of the EUDR Information System and provides step-by-step guidance on:
- EU Login and account registration
- Assigning the appropriate role in the Information System
- Submitting and managing DDS and SD
- Understanding the lifecycle and status of submissions
- Using the dashboard
- Searching and filtering submissions
- Applying the grouping function where needed
Accurate plot and production data are essential
For farmers, cooperatives and supply-chain organisations, accurate and structured farm-level data are an essential part of preparing EUDR declarations.
Information on plot boundaries, geolocation, production areas, products and quantities needs to be properly structured and linked to the relevant supply-chain information.
From farm data to EUDR-compliant geofiles
Crop Insights helps farmers and their supply-chain partners manage the plot, production and quantity data needed for EUDR declarations.
With Crop Insights, users can create EUDR-compliant geofiles ready for submission in TRACES. The platform also enables direct submission of DDS data from Crop Insights to TRACES.
This can help organisations:
- Reduce duplicate data entry between farm-management systems and TRACES
- Keep plot boundaries, geolocations and production areas structured and consistent
- Connect products and quantities with the relevant production plots
- Provide cooperatives, processors, traders and exporters with consistent source data
- Manage updates to plots, production information and quantities more efficiently
- Prepare EUDR information in a familiar farm-data environment
A more efficient path from the field to TRACES
By connecting farm-level data with EUDR requirements, Crop Insights helps turn structured plot and production information into EUDR-compliant geofiles for submission in TRACES, while also enabling direct DDS submission from the platform.
