The European Commission recently on China PV anti-dumping cases were held two hearings, mainly to review the legality of the anti-dumping case, while EU ProSun request for access to the EU before the end of February the Chinese photovoltaic products to be registered, which is the future paving retroactive tariff increase.
In fact, the EU is a double-edged sword double reverse, imports from China will make solar impose punitive tariffs on European hit, and led to increased unemployment. The German government certainly understand this, but people's pressure and unreasonable tariffs in the EU, Germany, Germany had to make commitments under the Chinese PV products ruthless hand.
"Double reverse" primer internal opposition
"SolarWorld only a photovoltaic enterprises from start to finish in trouble," Minsheng Securities chief analyst Wang Haisheng accept the new energy industry in China Securities Journal reporter said.
In Europe, SolarWorld is not the largest solar companies, but quite keen on China double reverse, the reason is related to their own interests. 2012 year, solar panel maker SolarWorld caught in the financial crisis, the cumulative net loss of 68.7 million euros in the first three quarters, there are not many in the downstream capacity. While some other large-scale PV companies such as Q-Cell, Wacker, in the upper reaches of the solar industry because of their need to get a lot of sources from China, China PV double against them no good, so they not only support, but opposition against PV dual action product.
But SolarWorld has received the support of the German government. Interestingly, when the stock prices before SolarWorld CEO FrankAsbeck has publicly accused the German government cut subsidies policy to combat employment, is to destroy the fledgling industry. But not too long the government has teamed up with the requirements of the Chinese PV companies to open a "double reverse ticket."
EU measures or hurt themselves
Prognos survey report released by the European Union on Chinese PV products after the punitive tariffs, the EU will lead to a significant reduction in installation and related services consumer demand for photovoltaic products, thereby reducing employment opportunities, especially in sectors other than the production in addition to the photovoltaic industry chain on employment opportunities. If the EU imposed on Chinese PV products punitive tariffs of 20% will result in punitive measures to implement the EU lost 175,500 jobs in three years, three years, the loss of 18.4 billion euros of "added value"; And if the tax rate of 60%, the EU lost jobs and "value-added" will reach 242,000, and 27.2 billion euros.
German government faced pressure itself is deemed initiated "double reverse" the main motive. Wang Haisheng said, a very high proportion of the new German energy, and now the price is 0.26 yuan / kWh, while the average European price is 0.17 / degrees, each would average 0.09 yuan higher than the EU tariff. Major contributor to the high price of the residents who instead of industrial, residential electricity consumption of small to bear the high price for the government, this is obviously unfair. Recently, objections have been many incidents of high electricity prices in Germany, opposition to the PV high subsidies parade. In addition, the high subsidies in Germany most subsidized Chinese PV companies, and now has been unable to carry out high subsidies for the photovoltaic industry and investment, by striking Chinese PV companies to enhance the competitiveness of domestic PV will therefore also appear.
