UNICA "disappointed" by US ethanol tariff extension bid

December 7, 2011 |

In Washington, UNICA says it is disappointed about the introduction of H.R. 3552, legislation sponsored by four members of the U.S. House of Representatives to extend the import tax on foreign ethanol.

“These trade barriers prevent U.S. consumers from abundant and potentially more economical choices from friendly nations like Brazil…The elimination of the import tariff on foreign ethanol would create an open, competitive marketplace resulting in more choices for consumers, less global fuel price volatility, and perhaps most importantly, increased savings at the gas pump for U.S. drivers,” said Leticia Phillips, UNICA’s Representative in North America.
