		<description><![CDATA[Looking at the figures of food wastage in the UK, something clearly needs to be done – we throw away £10.2bn of avoidable food waste every year. This equals 16-18 million tonnes of waste food that is buried as landfill each year.
Sweden is a nation which intends to lead the world in renewable fuels. It [...]]]></description>

This is, however, unlikely to affect competition in the UK market.

		<description><![CDATA[The European Union&#8217;s industry committee has voted to half its biofuels target for 2020, reducing it from 10% to 5% of total road fuel in energy terms. Given the large differences in the consumption of biofuels across Europe, the effect of this change, if implemented, would differ greatly between markets.

Against all expectations, the EU&#8217;s industry [...]]]></description>
