Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if he will seek to retain current EU countervailing duties on biodiesel imported from the US after the UK leaves the EU.

Currently, a number of trade remedy measures are being applied by the EU, some of which affect UK industry.

The Government is looking into this in detail and will bring forward proposals shortly. The Government is aiming to maintain continuity for businesses as we exit from the EU.
