    EUDR update on the information system

    The European Commission has shared the following developments in relation to the EUDR Information System.

    1. Publication of the Contingency Arrangement document

    The Contingency Arrangement applicable in the event of unplanned unavailability of the Information System has been published and is publicly available on the CIRCABC website.
    Also attached for your information.

    The document describes the conditions that must be met and the practical sequence of actions that users are expected to follow in the event of an unplanned unavailability of the Information System. To support users, the document is complemented by a step-by-step guide and specific FAQs to facilitate understanding of the steps users should take.

    Please be informed that the public status webpage referred to in the document is under development and will be available online in the coming weeks.

    2. Update 8.2.2 to the Information System

    We would also like to inform you that release 8.2.2 has been deployed on the EUDR Information System both on the ACCEPTANCE and PRODUCTION servers. The updated change log is available on the CIRCABC website. Also attached.

    This release concerns changes both to the API and the Graphic User Interface (GUI), including:

    • New V4 API (document version v1.3): technical updates for DDS, SD, and Verification services with small WSDL changes, improved error messages, user-information response headers, and updated/clarified API documentation. Latest documentation is available on CIRCABC and via the Help section of the Information System.
    • Validation rules: preventing invalid inputs (improved grouping rules, added XSD/GeoJSON validation, complex-country polygon checks).
    • Performance and stability: faster lookups, optimised SD update, and increased throughput.
    • Recommended Business Behaviour for API: users and service providers are expected to follow the relevant points of the documentation.
    • GUI cleanup: removal of obsolete profile sections and irrelevant Advanced Search fields; improved indicators, removed redundant popup buttons.

    Bug fixes.
