An area in. A verdict and its proof out.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 asks an importer for proof of no deforestation after 31 December 2020. geo.qa reads the forest baselines for each Cell (cell64)A fixed square of ground, about 10 m on a side (9.55 m north to south). Each cell has one address. All facts about that ground use the same address, so two agents mean the same place. of a production area. It returns a verdict, its support and a signed ReceiptA signed record of an answer. It lists the cells, the fact ids, the time and the request. You use it to check the answer without trust in us..

How the check makes the verdict
The check applies the forest definition of Article 2(4): more than 10% canopy, more than 0.5 ha and trees higher than 5 m. The baseline is the JRC Global Forest Cover 2020 map. The loss year comes from Hansen Global Forest Change. The check also reads JRC Tropical Moist Forest on every cell, as a cross-check.
Sources change versions. When Hansen went from v1.12 to v1.13, one cell in Brazil went from 0 % to 15 % tree cover in 2000. Both signed readings stay in emem, and each answer names its version: see the cell.
What it does not cover
The check covers the geolocation and deforestation parts of Annex II. It does not check land tenure, free, prior and informed consent, or the laws of the country of production. It measures deforestation, not forest degradation. A clean result is not a full due-diligence file.
For a full statement
Agents can run the same check through MCP (emem_eudr_dds) and cite each cell. To prepare and file a Due Diligence Statement with supplier evidence, use eudr.dev.
