Indonesia Challenges EU on Edible Oil at WTO

On 30 July 2012, Indonesia notified the WTO Secretariat of a request for consultations with the European Union with respect to the imposition of definitive and provisional anti-dumping measures by the European Union on the importation of fatty alcohols from Indonesia (used in the chemical industry). In the request, Indonesia refers to a possible inconsistency of the measures with the Anti-Dumping Agreement and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT 1994).
