US ethanol industry rounds on EU during NEC

In Florida, ePure Secretary General Rob Vierhout was the target of heated debate during the National Ethanol Conference where he was accused of creating artificial trade barriers against US ethanol in the European market.

Vierhout countered saying that evidence of dumping had been found.
