(Adnkronos) - Così Mariano Serratore, direttore tecnico Istituto certificazione etica e ambientale (Icea), a margine dell’evento promosso alla fiera "Marca" di Bologna dall'Unione italiana per l'olio di palma sostenibile per fare il punto sui nuovi regolamenti e sullo stato di avanzamento del sistema di tracciabilità ‘Prism’, che aiuterà i membri della Roundtable on sustainable palm oil (Rspo) a dimostrare la conformità al regolamento Eudr degli approvvigionamenti.

00:00 The assumption on the basis of which we act today on the community regulation
00:06 is clearly to have a reduced environmental impact
00:10 regarding the raw materials that are imported in the territory of the European Community.
00:14 Palm oil, being produced clearly outside the European Community,
00:19 is part of this category, but it has the advantage of having already defined
00:25 and documented the sustainability criteria before the regulation was conceived.
00:32 So, the impact is a greater correlation and interrelation
00:43 between RSPO and the European Union to make valid those sustainability criteria
00:50 that characterize it. So, the productive world, we were in November
00:56 at the last annual RSPO conference where the topic was touched upon,
01:00 and there is a positive climate from RSPO to make valid the criteria of defined sustainability
01:08 also in the European context. So, this is certainly a path in the right direction
01:14 that will have positive consequences for RSPO.
