Title	Study on the environmental impact of palm oil consumption and on existing sustainability standards.
Description	The objectives of this study contract are to broaden the knowledge base on the environmental, social and economic aspects of palm oil production and consumption, trade flows in palm oil, and actions undertaken by economic operators, EU governments and third countries (in particular India and China) focusing on palm oil. The study contract will also result in an analysis of existing sustainability standards (including RSPO, Indonesian Palm Oil Standard (ISPO) and Malaysian Standard for Palm Oil (MSPO)), an evaluation of their completeness (especially concerning biodiversity and carbon aspects) and an appraisal of the gaps between such standards and the environmental aspects to be considered in order to achieve relevant EU and international objectives. Finally, the study contract will summarise and evaluate existing initiatives at the EU level and in EU Member States, as well as in India and China, concerning the sustainable production of palm oil.
