Measures to stem biodiesel imports fall short, says EBB

摘要

The provisional anti-dumping duties established on 27 May by the European Commission on biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia are totally inadequate, claims the European biodiesel lobby. In a statement, published on 29 August, the industry states that there were massive imports from both countries during the summer, putting several European firms out of business. The European Biodiesel Board (EBB) was hoping to see the Commission set new duties on 10 August under an anti-subsidy procedure to compensate for the level of duties applied in May, which is far too low, according to the EBB. But the EU executive seems to have postponed its decision to a later date.
