BRUSSELS: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof arrived in Brussels, Belgium, at 5.30am Malaysia time for his official visit and trade mission to the European Union (EU).

Joining him in his first visit to Europe since taking office are Malaysian Palm Oil Board chairman Mohamed Helmy Othman Basha, Malaysian Palm Oil Council chairman Datuk Carl Bek-Nielsen, as well as Sarawak’s Deputy Minister of Town Planning, Land Administration and Environment, Datuk Len Talif Salleh.

This is in response to the implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation , announced by the EU on Dec 6, 2022, which aims to prevent deforestation due to agricultural activities. The engagement session with the EU will be intensified to achieve its intended outcome, which is beneficial to both palm oil-producing countries.
