Bulldust. This gets repeated frequently on here but is completely untrue.
Australian National Diesel Fuel Quality Standard (legally enforceable).
Fuel Quality in Australia - Diesel fuel quality standard
EN590 standard (Current EU Standard)

The only significant difference is the EU permits up to 7% bio whereas Australia is 5% (for fuel labelled as diesel).
Variations between EU countries is MUCH greater than in Australia where only a few refineries supply all of our diesel. E.g. BP WA supplies all commercial pump diesel (sold by all brands of servo) in WA from Exmouth to Esperance.
