    BBC NEWS | Europe | EU rethinks biofuels guidelines

    Europe's environment chief has admitted that the EU did not foresee the problems raised by its policy to get 10% of Europe's road fuels from plants.


    Recent reports have warned of rising food prices and rainforest destruction from increased biofuel production.
    EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said it would be better to miss the target than achieve it by harming the poor or damaging the environment.
