  Near threshold neutral pion electroproduction on the deuteron is studied in
the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in
the chiral expansion. We develop the multipole decomposition for pion
production off spin-1 particles appropriate for the threshold region. The
existing data at photon virtuality k^2 = -0.1 GeV^2 can be described
satisfactorily. Furthermore, the prediction for the S-wave multipole E_d at the
photon point is in good agreement with the data.
