Actively respond to the Central European PV trade dispute

Recently, the European Commission initially decided to 37-68% levy anti-dumping duties on imports from China of photovoltaic products, if nothing else, the EU will announce final results in early June. In fact, as early as automatic registration system for photovoltaic products in China started in early March, the EU's file had made it clear that: the investigation team has mastered sufficient prima facie evidence that the products imported from China is dumping on the EU market, and this The dumping has caused damage to the photovoltaic industry in the EU.

According to informed sources: photovoltaic solar panel products, both EU members have a strong willingness to export products to China to impose punitive tariffs, which means implicated in the case has been basically no comeback possible. Trade disputes, there have always been "the public that goes, both sides just said". PV cases, for example, the EU will cost of photovoltaic products in China with reference to country-election in the United States. According to the research: the United States and Europe with the high cost of photovoltaic products area, China, Korea and Taiwan belong to the low-cost area. 

In this regard, the EU's explanation is the United States is only the United States expressed its willingness to provide relevant data as a reference country, but the credibility of the data is questionable. In addition, the definition of "illegal subsidies" has always been there is a greater opacity. The initiator in Europe has come up with many emphatic "evidence" to prove that the Chinese enterprises to get illegal government subsidies. But in fact subsidies in the photovoltaic home solar panels industry is a practice, if you do not rely on government subsidies, photovoltaic electricity can not compete with the ordinary tariff, as I am afraid that any business can not survive. In fact, even if those enterprises to initiate an investigation, there are many still holding member governments billions of dollars of subsidies. 

We all know that trade disputes such a case is good to play, because of the special status of "referee", can not be completely fair. When a country or region to the economic crisis and recession, the government also often trade war to shift domestic crisis, which has formed a worldwide practice. And the EU made it very clear: trade sanctions on Chinese products in order to keep employment in Europe. In fact, since the 2008 financial crisis, the global trade dispute is more and more frequent, and often become the first victims.

However, China and the EU are important trade partners, have a high degree of dependence on each other's products, which is both very clear. Once playing a trade war, is often a lose-lose result. So we can only side of the court, while doing business. Of course, to this point, the situation is not irreparable. Past experience indicates that: those who actively responding enterprises to actively cooperate with the investigation, tend to get a better result.

Therefore our business or should cheer, and actively responding. This case is an important reason is that China's photovoltaic industry excess capacity, which point can not be evaded. I believe we all know: the photovoltaic industry will experience a big out of phase with the integration process, the only surviving enterprise is really competitive. For PV trade dispute, since it can not be avoided, it should be calm in the face. Case the initiator has a "reason": "China's cheap imports squeezing the profits of European companies, we can not invest in innovation.

"The EU has repeatedly stressed to revive the economy through innovation, this" reason "very lethal, but it also should be some enlightenment to Chinese enterprises I think, if we can deal with it well and, as the incident an opportunity to promote the survival of the fittest of the photovoltaic industry, so that those who have power and advantage, especially with core technology enterprises to survive and become the backbone of China's photovoltaic industry, seemed like a good thing.
