Indonesia welcomes WTO ruling against EU discrimination

Jakarta, Jan. 17 (UNI) Indonesia welcomed a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling that supports the archipelago nation in its dispute over "palm oil discrimination" by the European Union (EU), government ministers said on Friday.
"This victory demonstrates that in the case of palm oil and biodiesel, Europe is recognized for discriminating against Indonesia. So, the biodiesel that we are now taking as a policy, the world has to accept," Airlangga Hartarto, coordinating minister for economic affairs, said.
In addition to providing justice, Airlangga noted that this ruling serves as a foundation for expanding regional collaboration with Malaysia and other palm oil-producing countries, as well as enhancing globally recognized sustainability standards.
