Breaking News-RTRS-Soy, palm oil may go from German biofuel blend

HAMBURG, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Soyoil and palm oil may be completely removed from biofuel blending with fossil fuels under new German government proposals, Germany's vegetable oil mills industry association said on Friday.
On Wednesday, the German government cabinet approved a draft law on biofuel blend levels in fossil fuels for 2009 which included halting use of biofuels produced from palm and soyoil in the country's blending quota unless they have certificates showing they have been produced using sustainable agriculture.
