Following theNovember 7U.S.producedthe final rulingfindsdumping,subsidizationand beganlevying a "dual" tariffsafterChina's photovoltaic productsexist, local timeon November 8, the EU announced onChinesePV productslaunchedanti-subsidyinvestigations.
Recently, a number of people in the industryin an interview withnewspaper reportershave pointed out, in response to European and Americananti-dumping,PV companiesin addition tocircumventtrade barriersinoverseasfactories, it is more important tostart the domestic marketas soon as possible.
PVindustryvoices, apparently received a positiveresponse from the Government. In order to helpthe domestic photovoltaicindustryweather the stormandpromote sustainabledevelopment of photovoltaic industry, the recent past,the relevant state departmentshave been put forwardto supportpolicies to promote thedomestic marketscalePVstart.
International context, photovoltaic trade warwouldlead tomulti-lose-lose situation
Local timeon November 7, the U.S. International TradeCommission finds thatimportsof crystalline siliconphotovoltaic cells and modulesfromChineseproducts, substantial damage totheU.S. industry, the United States willimposesuchantidumping and countervailing duty("dual") tariff.Among them, theanti-dumpingtax rate of18.32 to 249.96 percent; countervailing duty rateof14.78 to 15.97 percent.
Afterthe United Statesshot, the EU immediately follow. November 8, the European Union announcedthat they hadimported fromChinaPV companieswafers,cells, modulesstartcountervailing investigations(EU hadalreadylaunchedthese productsanti-dumping investigations). So far, the EU has followed thestepsthe United States, began toChinesePVproducts"doublereverse"investigation.The industryfearsthat the EUwill eventuallyemulate the United States,imposedonChinesePV products"dual" tariffs.

November 1, ChineseMinistry of Commerceannounced thatthe EUsolar grade polysiliconmateriala "double reverse" survey. November 5, ChinaPV subsidymeasuresonthepart ofEU member states, the EUraisedits relatedconsultations with Member Statesunderthe WTO disputesettlement mechanism, the official launch ofthe WTOdispute settlement procedures.
