KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Bernama) — Malaysia’s application for the setting up of a panel to examine the steps taken by the European Union (EU) in the implementation of the Delegated Regulation under the European Union Renewable Energy Directive 2018\/2001 (EU RED II) has been approved by the World Trade Organisation (WTO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Dr Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali said the second application was approved by a Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) meeting under the WTO last Friday after the first application was rejected by the EU on April 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said Malaysia, which remained committed in pursuing legal action against the EU in line with the Cabinet\u2019s decision on July 1, 2020, filed the case on Jan 15, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As the world’s second largest producer of palm oil, Malaysia regrets the EU’s treatment of palm oil compared to other vegetable oils,\u201d he said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mohd Khairuddin said Malaysia\u2019s action was necessary in protecting the interests of the country’s palm oil industry which has made a significant contribution to the country’s socio -economic development, especially to smallholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the ministry, in collaboration with the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, will undertake the necessary preparations to defend the country’s palm oil industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The application was because of the lack of a solution during the consultations held with the EU on March 17, 2021,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
