# WTO Agrees To Review EU’s Anti-Palm Oil Policy - Gabungan Pengusaha Kelapa Sawit Indonesia (GAPKI)

> The WTO agreed to Malaysia's second request to set up a dispute panel examining the EU's renewable energy directive, which restricts palm oil-based biofuels. Malaysia and Indonesia, which together produce 85% of world palm oil, argue the measures are discriminatory. A panel typically takes about six months to report.

## Why it matters

The dispute keeps uncertainty over EU palm biofuel demand in place for months, but a ruling is not expected soon, so the immediate price effect is limited.
