Government subsidies for PV industry in decline

Electrical Association data show that in 2011, China imported from Germany polysilicon $ 764 million, accounting for Chinese imports of similar products 20%; imports Silver $ 360 million. In addition, the past few years, China has imported from Germany, Switzerland and other European countries, about 180 million purchase of photovoltaic production equipment. This has greatly promoted the development of downstream industries in Europe, currently in employment in related fields of up to 30 million people in Europe.

"Germany plans to 2020, renewable energy accounted for 20%, but the government subsidies for photovoltaic solar panels cost industry in decline, to complete 20% of the index, the only way is to make the cost down. If Chinese products heavily taxed, the rising cost of certain causes, which also contributed to Germany strongly opposed the sanctions because of Chinese products. "Zhang Bing said.

Li Gang with "a mass of fog" to describe the EU anti-dumping on Chinese PV recommendation of the vote. "Voting is not open, do not know who to support and who oppose." However, due to the implementation of a unified EU trade policy, member states voting results will not necessarily affect the EU's decision. Moreover, in his opinion, it becomes an EU anti-dumping "bent."

Electrical Association negotiations to Europe's experience also confirms this point. Originally, after the Chinese government and the European Commission repeated communications consultations, the two sides agreed to by the Electrical Association on behalf of China PV china solar panel industry commitment problem in that case the price negotiations with the European Commission, but the Electrical Association said they had raised the price of commitment to practical and feasible options, The EU rejected direct talks program, nor respond to issues raised by the working group negotiations and explanations. "Because the EU did not show sincerity to solve the problem through consultations, resulting in the first round of fruitless negotiations, broke down." CCCME published in the next statement.

In this regard, the EU Trade Division spokesman in response to Chinese media, denied the "first round of talks broke down," saying, he said, in accordance with EU procedures, formal substantive negotiations only after the preliminary determination, the EU now only technical consultations between.

Artes team of lawyers in Europe also hold this view. According to them, the information learned in Europe for Chinese PV products will be temporary levy punitive tariffs. "From June 6 to December preliminary final introduced, this period must be a very difficult negotiation process." Zhang Bing of the "China Economic Weekly" said.
