The government will authorize in the next few days the production of "1,8 million additional tonnes of biofuels," Dominique de Villepin announced Tuesday at the Salon de l'Agriculture.
Moreover, "by the end of the year, we will have to give the authorization for an additional 1,1 million tonnes," added the Prime Minister. These authorizations "represent ten new factories and a billion euros of investments", specified Mr. De Villepin.
