KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 – The European Union’s (EU) discrimination against palm oil produced by Malaysia is among the focus at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.
According to the Order Paper on the Parliament website, the matter will be raised by Teresa Kok (PH-Seputeh) to the Minister of Plantation and Commodities during the Minister’s Question Time.
Kok wants to know whether the decision of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) panel against Malaysia’s appeal regarding the EU’s discrimination against palm oil still allows the EU to implement the Delegated Act that bans palm oil as a biofuel by 2030.
At the same session, Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar) will ask the Minister of Youth and Sports regarding the government’s stance on the offer for the country to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games following the decision by Victoria, Australia, to withdraw from hosting it last year due to increased costs.
