UK slams US biofuel subsidies

Britain was looking for a way to tackle imports of biofuels from the US, which it believes will undermine the commercial case for European production, UK transport minister Stephen Ladyman said.

“People who are being subsidised to produce renewable fuels in the US are now planning to export that fuel to Europe, where they hope to get a second subsidy when it is sold in Europe,” Ladyman told a conference organised by the Environmental Industries Commission, a biofuels industry lobby group.
