EU anti-dumping on Chinese Solar ongoing preliminary upcoming June 6 baked. By then, the Chinese photovoltaic products exports to the EU are likely to be imposed rate of 37-68% of the temporary punitive tariffs. This is or will become by far the largest EU trade frictions, the world's largest amount of money involved in a trade dispute. In 2011, Chinese exports to the EU a total value of 21 billion euros (about 166.5 billion yuan) of the solar panels and associated components, exports accounted for China 70% of total PV manufacturing industry, accounting for 7% of total EU trade around.

Trade war imminent, as the attacking side of the EU, but got cold feet from the infighting. May 24, the Member States on the EU anti-dumping on China PV recommendation to vote. The same day, to attract more media attention, moreover, that represents more than 1,000 solar panels china companies in Europe the European Union public protests solar parity, saying the EU is ruined Europe more than 20 million jobs. It is also noteworthy, first mentioned in the application of anti-dumping on China PV enterprises in Germany, but German Chancellor Angela Merkel has repeatedly said in public, will spare no effort to stop the EU PV products to China imposed punitive tariffs.

EU trade disputes this situation is very complicated, the smoke of the battlefield layers of fog enveloped - whether it is the Ministry of Commerce expert, or invited to go to the EU negotiating Chinese trade associations, as well as photovoltaic enterprises are the "China Economic Weekly" reflects EU anti-dumping procedures, decision-making opaque. "The EU anti-dumping on Chinese PV yet completed the program, if once the EU decides to Chinese PV products impose punitive tariffs on Chinese side there will be a corresponding retaliatory measures.

China trade war is not willing to see the situation, but not to our will. "Department of Commerce International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute of Asia-Europe Cooperation Research Center Director Li Gang said," if the Chinese had to deal with the last, so that the interests of both China and the EU are damaged, the EU would like to see it? "

September 6, 2012, the European Commission announced the launch of China's exports of PV off grid inverter modules and components for all anti-dumping investigation. The EU believes that Chinese PV industry damage to EU industry, and to disclose more than 100 EU believes that its industry harm Chinese enterprises. In accordance with the EU's judicial process, the preliminary anti-dumping case is the deadline on June 6 this year. If the preliminary ruling passed, the EU will immediately PV products in China will impose punitive tariffs temporarily until December this year, will make final decision on the case.

In six months, two sides can continue to negotiate to find solutions to the dispute. The final determination of this temporary punitive tariffs validity may be extended to five years and long-term measures, of course, the results may also be to the good, the tax rate is reduced, or the termination of the levy.

The initial anti-dumping investigations applicant is a German firm Solar World. In order to China to carry out "anti-dumping" actions, meet EU requirements "on behalf of the industry at least 25% of the enterprises", Solar World trade organization also initiated the establishment of EU ProSun, unites more than 20 European solar panels and components manufacturers. Solar World also filed a countervailing duty on Chinese PV products applications will be available this August for preliminary ruling.

"This year, the rise of emerging markets has given us the confidence ahead." Artes, senior director of global marketing Bing Zhang told reporters. European Commission Directorate General for Trade last year on the production of solar panels from China and its key components initiated anti-dumping investigations, and in the near future recommendations to the Commission and the Member States, from June 6 onwards towards China to levy an average tax rate of 47%provisional anti-dumping duties. 

Zhang Bing yesterday in an interview with reporters, said that the European market is the world's most important market for PV products, "in 2008, had never been seen in 2009, the European market in a number of Chinese PV companies occupy a total annual shipments once the share of up to 90%, so 47% of the average tax rate for the Chinese PV companies can use "heavy" to describe. 

"" At present, China's photovoltaic industry is still in a winter period. "Zhang Bing told reporters, in financing, whether big companies or small companies, almost can not borrow any money," banks are tightening lending PV companies are now very difficult to ask the bank to borrow money. "However, Zhang Bing said that from this year the company a quarterly, the company still saw the light." From this point of view the contribution of emerging markets over the European market, which for us is good news. 

Tianjin West Railway Station is the city's first public buildings to use photovoltaic inverter power as the city's first megawatt rooftop photovoltaic power generation projects, West Station solar photovoltaic power plant project since formally incorporated into the national grid so far, a total of grid electricity has reached 78 million degrees or more. Recently, the station via a low-voltage ride through experiments, 240 Experiment monitoring and many other experiments, in line with the official carrier of the standard, which was officially operational. 

According to statistics, since the formal operation, West Point Average daily solar cell panel

photovoltaic power plant to the national grid transmission over 3000 degrees "green electricity." 0.4118 yuan per kilowatt in accordance with uniform standards to sell the national grid, West Station PV power plant is expected to receive a monthly average of more than 37,000 yuan to sell electricity revenues. 

However, power stations Despite the formal commercial operation in the short term but will not generate profits. Tianjin Binhai New Energy Co., Ltd can charge Zhai Zuo Xu told reporters that the project belongs to the Tianjin West Railway Station national demonstration project, the construction cost is higher and the payback period will be longer. Minus the project's financial subsidies, according to the current tariff revenue, the payback period will take decades.

China said Wednesday the European Delegation, EU member states based on their own judgment, rather than from Chinese pressure. Some EU member states that have decided to oppose the European Commission to China solar cell impose punitive tariffs.

"Some members of the EU, said 'selection is based on their own rational judgment,'" a spokeswoman said the Chinese delegation. EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht on Tuesday claimed that China is trying to plan the implementation of the European Commission ruled that before "impact and scare" Member States. Spokeswoman for the Chinese delegation made ​​a comment after this.

The Chinese delegation spokeswoman said that China and the EU member states have close economic and trade relations, the common practice is that they exchanged views on related issues. "But we will never influence and scare any member." She pointed out that EU trade protectionist practices can only weaken economic growth and its potential.

"China is willing to make joint efforts with the EU, in order to maintain a healthy and stable trade relations, and always hope that through dialogue and consultation to resolve trade frictions," she said.

European Commission, the EU's executive arm, proposed this month on imported Chinese flexible solar panels levy punitive tariffs of 47% to prevent China on the European market, "dumping" solar products. Sources week, one pair of Xinhua News Agency said that the EU 27 member states, at least 14 members of the European Commission voted on the proposal.

As we all know, China PV industry prior to flourish established at 90% of capacity for export to overseas markets in Europe, America and other major consumer markets suffered economic recovery hampered, the sovereign debt crisis and other weak growth problems, multi-national government subsidies reduced, leading to early rapid expansion of China PV industry, and instantly fell into component inventory overcapacity dilemma, the negative effects of tight cash flow, the fragile photovoltaic industry perilous.

In fact, on the issue of the PV "trade friction", indicating that it is not only the Chinese PV industry, the ice season, the photovoltaic industry is the fragility of the global problem. 580 on behalf of the European photovoltaic industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises of the European Union solar panels for sale power parity, in the recent events in Brussels that the EU will propose EU imports of Chinese PV industry impose a minimum 37%, maximum 69% punitive tariff proposal is wrong , because it will lead Europe to lose at least 200,000 jobs, the European photovoltaic industry as a whole will be affected.

Prices, is affecting all countries the core issue of trade protectionism, the EU and China industry representatives talks broke down, but also because the "price promise" We are simply unable to form and effective communication. However, the EU resorted to this "price of the sword," the consequence is native to Europe will also hurt the photovoltaic industry. Germany represents the EU to China PV levy heavy taxes was a "serious mistake", the Economy Minister Rossler called on the EU Commission should fully prevent trade disputes through consultations and dialogue, not threats to resolve the problem, Photovoltaic Panels prices because of the EU's punitive tariffs The increased negative impact on German companies.

Another independent European research institutions research shows that EU consumers of photovoltaic products, installation and related service needs will be significantly reduced because of rising prices, thereby reducing Europe's job market, especially in the photovoltaic industry chain, in addition to employment outside manufacturing opportunities.

Most European PV companies that precisely because the products in the manufacture of components and lack of competitive advantage, the European PV product prices will remain high, European companies should focus on engineering design, system integration, innovative research and development and other key areas. " dislocation competition "will put the global PV industry from the current" pinch "vicious competition, reversing a benign global optimal allocation of resources complementary development.

On Monday, a government officer told Reuters, the German economy minister has formally notified the European Commission, Germany does not support the European Commission on China solar panels impose punitive import tariffs. European Commission EU's executive arm accused Chinese solar panels pricing too low and dumped in the European market in order to achieve the purpose of monopolizing the market, so plan its tariffs, but the Germans have let myself from the Initiative.

Sunday during talks in Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Germany (China's largest trading partner in Europe) will do everything we can to prevent trade disputes from escalating. Although De Gucht said he had no intention undermine the interests of European companies in China, but he would like to show that the Beijing authorities, the European Commission's attitude in preventing dumping is a serious certification, China must comply with international trade rules. France hold the same view.

French Industry Minister Monte Arnold Bucher told reporters: "We want to see a balanced EU relations. Use of trade protectionist countries, while China is one of them, should accept the rules of reciprocity."

Earlier this year, EU officials told Reuters reporters that they lack the Chinese leadership for participation in negotiations frustrated.

By imposing provisional anti-dumping duties, the European Commission said it would be leveraged, because under EU law, if not find a solution, from December onwards sanctions may be up to five years. According to Reuters obtained a copy of a European Commission investigation of solar cell manufacturers, they have found clear evidence that Chinese producers of dumping.

Brussels lobbyists TAITRA legal advisor Stuart Newman said: "The EU has found preliminary evidence of dumping behavior, they can not just ignore this problem out." Bai Jianhua (State Grid Corporation Energy Research Institute deputy chief economist): China's photovoltaic There are three main forms of development: one rich in solar energy resources in resource-rich areas of land to build large small solar cells power plants, two are in the cities building rooftop photovoltaic power plants, three in rural areas, building roofs, greenhouses, etc. PV.

Among them, developing the rural market of distributed solar power, photovoltaic power generation in China will be an important direction for the industry, will play a role in promoting sustainable development. Early enactment of a comprehensive rural PV development financial subsidies, policy mechanisms to protect businesses, farmers and the interests of the relevant actors to ensure the healthy and orderly development
