#32026R0479Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/479 imposing definitive countervailing duty on biodiesel imports from Indonesia
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The European Commission has decided to maintain the countervailing duties on biodiesel imports from Indonesia following an expiry review. The duties were originally imposed in 2019 due to subsidies provided by the Indonesian government, particularly through the Oil Palm Plantation Fund and below-market provision of crude palm oil. Despite non-cooperation from the Government of Indonesia and Indonesian producers during the review, the Commission found sufficient evidence of continued subsidisation and likelihood of recurrence of injury to the EU biodiesel industry if measures were allowed to expire. The regulation extends the existing countervailing measures on Indonesian biodiesel, which primarily consists of palm oil methyl ester, covering a wide range of CN codes including those for sustainable aviation fuels.
