AMES, Iowa, May 05, 2017 -- Renewable Energy Group (NASDAQ:REGI) welcomes today’s unanimous decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to proceed with its investigation into whether biodiesel imports from Argentina and Indonesia may harm American producers.
In a 5-0 vote, the Commission agreed to proceed with a trade petition brought by a coalition of U.S. biodiesel producers.
REG Chief Financial Officer Chad Stone, who testified before the ITC last month as part of the National Biodiesel Board Fair Trade Coalition, issued the following statement:
“Today’s unanimous vote by the ITC is a key step in stopping unfair biodiesel trade practices that significantly harm U.S. biodiesel producers and American jobs. While we welcome healthy and fair competition, we cannot ignore unfair trade practices that threaten the domestic biodiesel industry that supports tens of thousands of American jobs, promotes energy security and improves our environment.”
