TEHRAN, June 11 -France’s farm minister said on Monday that a decision by farmers to launch a blockade of oil refineries and fuel depots to protest a government decision to allow Total to use imported palm oil at a biofuel plant was illegal.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Stephane Travert said the government will not back down on its decision to allow Total to use imported palm oil.
“This blockade cannot be the solution to the discussion that we are going to have. This blockade is illegal. It is not by blocking refineries that we are going to find adequate solutions,” Travert told RTL Radio.
