Felcra chair Nageeb Wahab said the EU hadn't given clear answer on why ban needs to be implemented.
Four federal agencies involved in agricultural activities - Felda, Felcra, Risda and National Association of Smallholders Malaysia - today handed over a memorandum of protest to the Head of the European Union Delegation to Malaysia over the European Parliament proposal to ban the use of palm oil for the production of biofuels in the EU by 2020.
“The European Parliament through a Delegated Act had proposed the ban on the use of palm oil-based biofuel...the decision will probably be announced next month, but they did not give any explanation, except labelling oil palm as a high-risk crop and a major contributor to deforestation worldwide. Nageeb and Felda chairperson Megat Zaharuddin Megat Mohd Nor had earlier handed over the memorandum to Head of EU Delegation to Malaysia, Maria Castillo.
