EU Probes U.S. Biodiesel Subsidies In New Trade Row
European Union trade officials have launched an investigation into whether imports of U.S. biodiesel break international trade rules because of subsidies, the EU's executive Commission said on Friday. A European Commission statement said examination of complaints lodged by European industry found an investigation was warranted. "Sufficient evidence was provided of subsidies to the U.S. biodiesel sector, as well as dumping of biodiesel in the European market," the statement said.
