On June 10, 2014, Indonesia requested consultations with the European Union regarding (a) provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community; and (b) anti-dumping measures imposed in 2013 by the European Union on imports of biodiesel originating in Indonesia.

Indonesia claims that the measures are inconsistent with:

• Articles 1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1.1, 2.2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 6.5, 6.5.1, 7.1, 7.2, 9.2, 9.3, 15 and 18.4 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement; and

• Article XVI:4 of the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization; and

• Articles VI, VI:1, and VI:2 of the GATT 1994.

On June 30, 2015, Indonesia requested the establishment of a panel. At its meeting on July 20, 2015, the DSB deferred the establishment of a panel. At its meeting on August 31, 2015, the DSB established a panel. Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United States reserved their third-party rights.

On November 4, 2015, the panel was composed by agreement of the disputing parties.
