KUALA LUMPUR, 16 Jan -- Menteri Perladangan Industri dan Komoditi Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong menegaskan bahawa bantahan pekebun kecil sawit bukti bahawa diskriminasi sawit mengancam kebajikan pekebun kecil.Bantahan ini adalah bukti jelas kepada Parlimen Kesatuan Eropah (termasuk Majlis Kesatuan Eropah) dan Presiden Kesatuan Eropah bahawa para pekebun kecil Malaysia tidak berpuas hati dan tertindas dengan cadangan untuk mengharamkan biobahan api berasaskan minyak sawit di pasaran Eropah.--fotoBERNAMA (2018) HAK CIPTA TERPELIHARA

The European Union (EU) Parliament has voted in favour of an amendment to a draft law on renewable energy that calls for reducing to zero ‘the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids produced from palm oil’ as of 2021, Bloomberg reported.
