Ministry of Commerce: Cannot blame the difficulties of EU PV companies on the dumping of Chinese enterprises

On the afternoon of September 14, Chong Quan, deputy representative of the Trade Negotiation of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, led a Chinese government delegation in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss with the European Union's Director of Trade and Trade Demadi on the EU's anti-dumping case against Chinese solar cells. After nearly three hours of consultations, Chong Quan said: "I have had a very frank meeting with Demadi. Both sides believe that we will do our utmost to avoid the trade war. This is our consensus." Said: "If the EU shows sufficient sincerity, I am confident that China and the EU will solve this problem through consultation, dialogue and cooperation. China and the EU are now very important trading partners. In the current world economic situation, the economic downturn Next, China and the EU have no reason not to solve the problem through consultations and dialogues. I believe that neither side can afford to lose. Once a trade war occurs, the situation is out of control and both lose." Chong Quan pointed out that the European Commission ignored the opposition of the Chinese government and the industry. Destined to launch an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese photovoltaic cells. The case involves more than US$20 billion in exports from China, which is related to the employment of thousands of Chinese companies and more than 400,000 people. Therefore, the Chinese government, industry and public opinion are highly concerned about this. At the beginning, the China-European PV industry began to have mutual needs and mutually promoted development, and formed the industrial division pattern of “you have me, I have you” and the relationship of mutual complementarity and mutual benefit in the photovoltaic industry chain. The EU should not only see the export of photovoltaic cells to the EU, but also see more than 200,000 jobs for the EU PV installation industry, the export of EU raw materials and technical equipment to China for tens of billions of dollars, and the solar industry to promote EU energy. Transformation accelerates these indisputable facts. Chong Quan said that the current difficulties in the photovoltaic industry are problems facing the entire industry. The difficulties of EU enterprises cannot be blamed on the dumping of Chinese enterprises. Dumping and competition are completely different concepts. It is hoped that the EU will give comprehensive and objective judgments on this case and solve the challenges through cooperation instead of unilaterally adopting trade restrictions. China and the EU have extensive common interests and cooperation in many fields such as trade, investment and technical cooperation. Any restrictive measures affect not only the interests of a product, an industry, but also the overall interests of the EU-related industries and the EU. Chong Quan emphasized that the EU's practices have caused strong dissatisfaction from the Chinese industry and require the government to take measures and not do nothing. Obviously, this case has become a major issue in testing China-EU economic and trade relations. Failure to deal with it will definitely have a serious negative impact on bilateral economic and trade relations. China does not want to see the case become a trigger for Sino-European trade conflicts. The best way to solve the problem is through dialogue. I hope that the EU will pay attention to China's concerns and seek ways to resolve trade frictions through dialogues and consultations between the governments and the industry, so that the case can be properly resolved and the overall economic and trade relations between China and the EU can be safeguarded. Demadi said that the case was investigated by the European Commission on the basis of an enterprise application and in accordance with legal procedures, but did not prejudge the outcome. The European side understands that the case is of great value and has its particularity. It is in the interest of both parties to avoid trade conflicts. In the process of filing a case investigation, the EU is willing to conduct consultations and discussions with the Chinese side on the case under the WTO rules and the EU legal framework, and jointly explore ways to solve the problem. The industry of both sides may also decide to conduct consultations at their own discretion. On September 6, the European Union announced an anti-dumping investigation against Chinese photovoltaic cells. The data shows that the EU accounts for about 60% of China's PV product export share. In 2011, the total amount of China's PV products exported to the EU reached about 20.4 billion US dollars. The EU's move means that the largest trade dispute in China's history is the most important.
