WTO rules in favor of Argentina in EU biodiesel appeal

In Switzerland, following the European Court’s ruling a few weeks back that the EU’s anti-dumping duties on Argentine and Indonesian biodiesel were not appropriate, the World Trade Organization has made its decision along the same lines. The WTO had voted mostly in favor of Argentina in March but the EU appealed the decision. Thursday’s decision on the appeal definitively rules in favor of Argentina but it is up to the European Commission to drop the anti-dumping duties permanently.
