Several Chinese PV companies want to counter the United States two times "double counter"

Daily economic journalist Chadaukun from Nanjing





June 3, the U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that the second double counter survey of photovoltaic enterprises in China, which undoubtedly stimulated the nerves of many photovoltaic enterprises in the country.





, including Yingli Energy, Suntech, Sun FAI and Solar, have issued statements expressing strong opposition. Subsequently, June 6, led by the German solar power plant Solarworldag, the European Union of Solar manufacturers, Euprosun, handed to the EU executive committee, accusing Chinese photovoltaic companies lower than last year agreed to the lowest price to Europe output solar panels.





this, in the eyes of the industry, is likely to make Europe's dual-return on Chinese photovoltaic companies.





A number of enterprises declared "counterattack"





World's largest component supplier Yingli Green Energy said the US government's decision to levy a countervailing duty on Chinese photovoltaic manufacturers would make solar power more expensive for American consumers.




"The US decision will unfortunately make solar power more expensive for US consumers and reduce the tens of thousands of of us solar jobs that we help create," said Robertpetrina, general manager of Yingli Green Energy's American subsidiary,
Green Energy. ”





Green Energy Chairman and chief Executive Officer Miao Lianseng also said: "Because we are now witnessing the global, tariffs are not the answer to promote low-cost solar energy." We support national trade and fair competition, and hope that these will prevail at the end of this dispute. ”




"It is totally unfair for the United States to decide to impose a 35% per cent tariff on Suntech because our company did not receive subsidies from the Chinese government," said Rouxin, Suntech chief executive, who was convicted of imposing tariffs of up to 35%
. Our ability to produce high quality, low-cost PV modules stems from our efficient manufacturing processes and the size of our supply chain. ”





, another company in Jiangsu, Solar also issued a statement against any form of trade protection.





In this respect, photovoltaic industry expert Yuwen to "daily economic news" reporter said, "The United States the second double against these enterprises is indeed very large, seriously affecting the export of U.S. PV products, so issued a statement of opposition is also helpless." In addition, these photovoltaic companies should also find ways to resolve the U.S. double counter, such as building factories in the United States and increase the development of the domestic market. ”





European enterprises follow up the "
"




Peat Peat, immediately after the second double counter in the United States, the European Solar agency blamed Chinese photovoltaic companies for exporting solar panels to Europe at the lowest prices agreed last year, violating anti-dumping agreements.





June 6, European Solar representative agency Euprosun submitted more than 1000 pages of documents to the European Commission's Trade Council detailing Chinese manufacturers ' proposals to sell below agreed prices.





among them, German photovoltaic manufacturers, accusing Chinese manufacturers of causing the initial EU investigation behind the main agitator SolarWorld set up Prosun, insisted that Chinese companies "neither pay tariffs, nor comply with the minimum price agreement."





at the same time, Euprosun President Milan Nizsico said EU trade rules are being systematically violated by Chinese manufacturers, "it seems that no Chinese manufacturer has followed the agreed minimum price to export to the EU, dumping Chinese solar products continue to pour into the EU market, destroying European industries and jobs, The Committee must act quickly to put an end to these violations and to impose sanctions. ”





It is understood that according to the settlement reached last year, about 100 Chinese companies can still export their products duty-free to the EU, provided that the price of their solar panels is set at more than 0.56 euros per watt.





However, according to the proposal, the charges include solar wafer maker Jiangxi LDK and solar wafer, battery and component manufacturer Crystal Division energy. According to Euprosun, the Department of Energy and LDK still sold solar panels at a low price of € 0.45 per watt and € 0.46 a year in April.





to this, Yuwen said, "if the facts are true, as the European Solar Energy Agency said, then do not rule out the launch of a new round of EU-China photovoltaic products in the double counter investigation." ”
