Indonesia urged the European Union on Monday to scrap countervailing duties on imports of biodiesel immediately, after the World Trade Organization backed several of Jakarta’s main claims in a complaint to the trade body.
As a European citizen I concur.
If we can use rape seed oil, we can also use palm oil, palm oil yields 4 times more oil per m². So from an environmental perspective, palm oil from Indonesia, that has sustainable production, is the better option.
Tariff on Indonesian Palm oil only serves to protect EU farmers. The widespread demonization of Palm oil is a propaganda stunt, to protect against a superior crop/product.
