 PUTRAJAYA: Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong has condemned the decision by the European Union (EU) Parliament on Wednesday to ban the usage of palm oil in the economic bloc’s biofuels programme by 2021.

He described the EU Parliament’s discriminatory act against palm oil as a “black day” for free-trade practice.
