In France, Reuters reported that the European Union recently said it would begin an anti-dumping investigation into biodiesel imports from China.
According to the report, the body began investigating whether biodiesel from Indonesia was circumventing EU duties by going through China and Britain. The latest investigation, prompted by a complaint from producer group the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), will cover the period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
The probe will take up to 14 months, with the possibility of provisional duties being imposed within eight months, the report added.
“EU producers have submitted evidence of biodiesel imports from China coming into the EU at artificially low prices and claim that these imports are seriously harming their industry because they cannot compete with such low prices,” the European Commission said in a statement.
