Scrutinising the European Union’s hypocrisy towards palm oil

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of palm oil. In 2018 the European Union (EU) passed the revision of its Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) in their bid to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and deforestation while increasing the use of renewable energy. RED II and its Delegated Regulation policies have implicitly placed palm oil as a major cause of GHG emissions and categorise palm oil-based biofuel as High Indirect Land Use Change Risk (High ILUC Risk) due to the alleged conversion of agricultural land into oil palm plantations and also the expansion of oil palm plantations to forests and peatlands. Indonesia did not accept the ILUC model and perceives the EU policy was adopted to target palm oil and based on uncertain science and outdated knowledge to prevent palm oil and its derivative products from entering the EU market.

This paper seeks to scrutinise various arguments set forth by the EU to discredit and discriminate against palm oil and its derivative products as compared to the EU’s home-grown like-products. This paper will ultimately dismiss these arguments as mere hypocrisy of the EU as a part of its apartheid and neo-colonialist protectionism policy toward palm oil. The research method used in the research for this paper is comparative-juridical.
