The European Union is cracking down on Chinese biodiesel imports after investigating complaints that a flood of unfairly priced renewable fuel is undercutting producers in the bloc and hurting workers.
The European Commission will impose provisional anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports of biofuels in four weeks, ranging from 12.8% to 36.4%, the European Biodiesel Board said in a statement, citing a document from regulators.
