EU should not give in to anti-palm oil lobbies, says MPOC | Malay Mail

In a statement today, he said MPOC looks with “cooperative spirit” to the EU’s legislative initiative on “Minimising the risk of deforestation and forest degradation associated with products placed on the EU market”. It also wants the EU to improve the availability and quality of information on forests and commodity supply chains as well as the access to that information, and support research and innovation.

The issue should be addressed by distinguishing among producer countries, as not all palm oil-producing countries have the same regulatory frameworks in place to cultivate and produce responsibly, protect the forests and enforce the rules, he said.

EU should not give into anti-palm oil lobbies and backdoor government trying to amass more wealth for politicians through exporting palm oil.☝️🇲🇾
