WTO ruling affirms Malaysia's claims of discrimination, says Plantations Minister


Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia said on Wednesday it will closely monitor how the EU responds to a WTO ruling that supported the bloc's stance that palm oil-based biodiesel should not count as a renewable biofuel, but sought changes in how it implemented that decision.

A World Trade Organization adjudicating panel, in its first ruling related to deforestation, on Tuesday rejected Malaysia's claims against the EU decision, but accepted its complaints over how the measures had been prepared, published and administered.
