Malaysia disappointed with EU deforestation regulation, says Fadillah

Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof says Malaysia is still open to negotiation with the European Union, which he said is trying to protect its domestic oilseeds market. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 20, 2023.

“This ultimately would increase poverty, reduce household incomes and harm rural communities in Malaysia, outcomes that stand in stark contrast to the EU’s commitments outlined in the United Nation sustainable development goals,” said Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof. Fadillah added that the EUDR is unjust and serves primarily to protect a domestic oilseeds market that is inefficient and cannot compete with Malaysia’s efficient and productive palm oil exports.

Fadillah said Malaysia restates its core position that a small farmer exemption is needed in the EUDR to prevent large European importers from cutting smallholders out of supply chains.
