US objects to recommendation on 'sustainable' aviation fuels in ICAO meeting

WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. objected to a recommendation on "sustainable" aviation fuels made at a meeting held by the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization, the State Department said on Monday.

The ICAO's multinational Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection made the recommendation that Washington says "would unfairly penalize U.S. farmers and significantly benefit Brazil over the rest of the world."
