That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

The significant impact that the European Union Deforestation Regulation will likely have on Australian beef producers because of the EU's definition of forest and uncertainty about its implementation; and hence the consequent need to delay the implementation of the Regulation until these matters can be resolved.

Is consideration of the proposal supported?
