Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8)

Proceeding contribution from Martin Caton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8).
I agree with the hon. Lady's line on biofuels. When talking about some sort of sustainability scheme, does she agree that there is a real problem with displacement? We might end up with a scheme where sustainable certification is granted for a palm oil plantation in Indonesia, for example, that has transferred to producing renewable fuels, but then develops a new palm oil for other uses that ends up taking up rain forest. Sustainability is a hugely difficult issue.
