Indonesia launches WTO dispute over EU duties on biodiesel imports
Add BT as a preferred source
INDONESIA has requested World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute consultations with the European Union regarding the bloc’s imposition of duties on imports of biodiesel from the South-east Asia nation, the global trade body said on Tuesday (Aug 15).
The request was circulated to WTO members on Aug 15, the body said, adding that Indonesia argues that the EU countervailing duties and the investigation that led to their imposition are inconsistent with WTO provisions.
Countervailing duties are imposed under WTO rules with the goal of neutralising the negative effects of subsidies. REUTERS
