A “trade war”, eh? Don't like it? Just as a FACT, 85% of biodiesel production comes from the EU. We don't “need” your pitiful little contribution. And remember who the “big boys” really are!

Good. She needs to understand ( doubt it though) that there are consequences to pissing off the important players. Biting the hand that feeds come to mind.

What does that mean, “artificially low prices”? They can charge whatever they want.

Either the prices they are willing to charge cover their costs, or they go under. No?

Selling for cheaper, “undercutting”, is one of the benefits of laissez faire. No?

Was CFK subsidizing this industry to be able to undercut? Is it just that they don't want to subsidize the new tariff also? So, they'll offset the tariff with the tax cut?

Does this have anything to do with French farmers and French socialist interference in natural market forces?

Whilst also trying to use them (Argentina) in their lost cause to take over Gibraltar. Comparing the the two situations as being the same.
