Giles Chichester
Conservative MEP for the South West of England and Gibraltar
“We are going through a period of having second thoughts about biofuels. In particular, the 10% target set at EU level seems subject to reconsideration.
"I think the scientific and financial aspects are not as clear cut as I would wish and need more work. Also, we need to be assured that resources will not be diverted from food production nor will tropical rain forest habitat be diminished.
"I think we need a contribution from biofuels with regards to CO2 emission reduction, but the question is how much.”
