Britain May Push For Changes In EU Biofuel Targets

Britain will push for changes in European Union biofuels targets if a review of British policy shows rising biofuels production drives up food prices and harms the environment, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Tuesday. Brown is due to meet development experts and retail and farmers' representatives later on Tuesday to work on a plan to tackle rising food prices. His government ordered a review of the environmental and economic effects of biofuels production in February.
