Palm oil issue not affecting trade with EU, says Matrade

The government will draw up new strategies and approaches to combat the anti-palm oil campaign by the European Union (EU) which give negative perceptions of the palm oil industry in this country.

KUALA LUMPUR: The trade issue between Malaysia and the European Union (EU) over palm oil will not affect other forms of exports to the EU, says the Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade).

Chief executive officer Datuk Wan Latiff Wan Musa said electrical and electronics (E&E) exports to the EU remained steady.
