Brazil warns Europe against biofuel import barriers

Brazil on Friday warned Europe not to “distort” trade in biofuel, saying Brasilia was ready to defend its interests before the World Trade Organization if necessary.

The director of the energy department in Brazil’s foreign ministry, Andre do Lago, said his Latin American nation — the biggest exporter of biofuel made from sugarcane — was prepared to discuss European concerns about environmental sustainability but would brook no unfair import restrictions.
