Determination to transition trade remedies measure
This notice is published under regulation 96(1) of the Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
The Secretary of State for International Trade has determined the countervailing duties on biodiesel originating in the USA (including biodiesel consigned from Canada) imposed by the following EU instrument is to be transitioned:
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1519 of 14 September 2015 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of biodiesel originating in the USA following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009.
The relevant amending instrument is Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/675 of 29 April 2016 amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1519 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of biodiesel originating in the USA following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009.
Transition of EU trade remedies measure
This determination follows a call for evidence conducted by the Department for International Trade (DIT) to identify anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the EU that matter to UK industry. For further information please refer to the trade remedies transition policy guidance.
Effect of determination
The identified trade remedies measure will be transitioned so it will continue to apply when the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system. This is once the UK ceases to apply the EU’s Common External Tariff, unless this notice is revoked or the EU terminates the measure before the UK begins operating an independent trade remedies system.
A transition review will be conducted to assess whether the trade remedies measure is appropriate to the UK. The Trade Remedies Authority (or pending establishment, the Secretary of State) will assess whether the measure is necessary or sufficient to prevent or remove injury to UK industry and whether there would be injury to UK industry if it was no longer applied.
The result of the transition review will be a recommendation (or, pending establishment of the Trade Remedies Authority, a preliminary determination) that the measure be varied or revoked.
The Rt Hon Liz Truss MP
Secretary of State for International Trade
