KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will bring a World Trade Organisation (WTO) challenge against the European Union (EU) over its plans to phase out palm biofuel.

Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok said Malaysia would submit the complaint to the WTO by November to challenge the restrictions before she heads to the EU to meet the newly appointed Members of the European Parliament (MEP) and the new European commissioners.
