EU should suspend palm regulation until elements proposed clarified, says MPOC
The Malaysian Palm Oil Council says the analysis conducted by the European Commission does not do justice to the fact that total acreage destined to palm oil production worldwide is still much smaller than that destined to many other crops such as maize, soybeans, and wheat. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, March 19, 2018.
THE adoption of the European Commission’s draft delegated act on high indirect land-use change risk feedstock – which places palm oil at a competitive disadvantage against other biofuel feedstock – should be suspended, said the Malaysian Palm Oil Council . The suspension should be in effect until all elements of the proposed regime are “clear, properly defined, scientifically based, factually evidenced, non-discriminatory, and not creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade,” it said in a legal and technical assessment report on the delegated act.
