European Union appeals pro-Argentina biodiesel ruling

The European Union appealed a decision by the World Trade Organization favoring Argentina in a dispute over EU antidumping tariffs imposed on Argentine biodiesel imports.

The appeal follows comments this month from Argentina's ambassador to Spain that he expected the European country would soon return to its former status as Argentina's main biodiesel export destination.

A WTO statement said the organization's appellate body generally has up to three months to reach a decision on these types of appeals.
