Photovoltaic trade war or upgrade of global industry chain will be damaged

The EU or the United States to anti-dumping "big stick" with SolarWorld a request for anti-dumping investigations on Chinese PV products officially submitted to the EU, the Chinese photovoltaic industry has been a little bit of a snake shadow. Since the EU accounts for more than 70% of China's PV product exports, once the EU decides to anti-dumping China's PV products, it is undoubtedly an unprecedented "catastrophe" for the Chinese PV industry. Just yesterday, Suntech, Yingli, Artes, Tianhe and other four leading PV manufacturers held a press conference on anti-dumping investigations in Beijing. On behalf of the Chinese PV industry, they strongly urged the EU to seriously consider launching anti-dumping investigations against China PV. Experts said that the EU is indeed likely to open a case this time, but this is not in the interest of the EU, and China also needs to reflect on the PV "Great Leap Forward" in the past few years. China's PV companies have jointly opposed this. It is already the third time that China's leading PV companies have gathered together to hold a press conference. As early as last year when the US filed a "double opposition" to China's photovoltaic products, Chinese companies had jointly held a press conference in Beijing. In May of this year, on the preliminary anti-dumping preliminary ruling made by the United States on China's photovoltaic products, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized a conference on the investigation of solar photovoltaics in Shangde, Yingli and Artes in Shanghai. At the third press conference held yesterday, although many problems were old-fashioned, they could not help but touch the sensitive nerves of PV people. Only because the EU accounted for more than 70% of China’s PV products exports, it is more than the United States. It is related to the survival of China's photovoltaic industry. The reporter learned that the four PV companies issued a joint statement yesterday, strongly appealing to the EU to seriously consider launching an anti-dumping investigation against China PV, and called on the Chinese government to actively protect the legitimate rights and interests of domestic enterprises. According to the joint statement, the photovoltaic industry is in a critical period of transformation and upgrading, and any market-restricting behavior will put the entire industry at risk. The photovoltaic industry is the world's industry, and countries are a community of interests in the process of developing the photovoltaic industry. There is no such thing as illegal subsidy and dumping in the Chinese PV industry. According to the person in charge of Yingli Green Energy, China and the EU are the world's second and third largest economies respectively, and at the same time they are the largest trading partners of each other. If the EU follows the United States and also launches anti-dumping investigations against China's PV, then China's PV industry Will suffer a fatal blow. The person in charge of the Chinese PV companies attending the meeting believed that the Chinese government should immediately launch a high-level dialogue with the EU before the EU has yet to file a case, and jointly seek solutions to get things better and prevent the case from being filed. If the EU places China-EU economic and trade cooperation in disregard of the lawsuit, the Chinese government should take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. China's PV companies will continue to respond positively and make every effort to firmly defend their rights and interests, while increasing investment in technological innovation and technological advancement to maintain the leading edge and competitiveness of China's solar photovoltaic products. Global PV trade war escalation "At present, the EU has 45 days to decide whether to conduct an investigation. The decision to impose anti-dumping tariffs on PV products in China can be made within 9 months at the earliest." Meng Xianyu, vice chairman of China Renewable Energy Society, yesterday Tell this reporter that if the EU makes a decision within 9 months, there will be a three-month retrospective period, which means that it is likely to have an impact on China's PV product exports in the second half of this year. Previously, when the United States made an anti-dumping preliminary ruling, the number of Chinese PV products exported to the United States dropped sharply. In his view, it is indeed possible for the EU to repeat the US practice to file a case against it. The reason why China filed a case investigation on the US-South Korea polysilicon dumping last week is that it feels that Europe may take some measures, so it has been stated in advance. It is worth noting that once the EU decides to anti-dumping against China's PV products, China is very likely to extend the anti-dumping investigation against US and South Korea's polysilicon to the EU. A global PV trade war is already coming. "The trade war is a loser to both sides, and we should try to avoid both the EU and the EU." Meng Xianyu said that SolarWorld is a German photovoltaic company. The reason why it first applied in the United States is because the EU has not wanted to investigate the investigation of Chinese PV products. Anti-dumping, especially in the context of the European debt crisis. "Whether it is overseas to China," it is still China's anti-dumping against overseas polysilicon, trade war is not a good thing. It is China's helpless choice to propose anti-dumping." Li Junfeng, deputy director of the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, was interviewed by this reporter. Say. In his view, the trade war is "a thousand injured, self-injury 800", it is best for the two sides to "stop" and resume normal business order. As the world's largest manufacturer of photovoltaic modules, Jerry Stokes, president of Suntech's European region, also said, "I hope the EU will abide by the market principles, because any form of trade protectionism will damage the entire European solar photovoltaic industry and may lead to disorderly trade wars. The result will surely make the industry's hard work and fruitful results for many years." "Trade protection will only increase the cost of solar photovoltaic energy, which runs counter to the industry's efforts to reduce costs over the past decade, and will inevitably delay solar photovoltaic. Energy is entering a large-scale promotion to gradually replace fossil energy. For Europe, what is more serious is that these protectionist measures will reduce Europe's thousands of green jobs," Jerry Stokes said. At present, the EU PV industry employs more than 300,000 people, of which more than 80% are in the upstream or downstream of the industry, such as raw material production, equipment manufacturing, system design and installation and project financing. The "double-reverse" dispute in the overseas photovoltaic industry is worth noting that whether or not to carry out "double opposition" to China's photovoltaic products, overseas public opinion is not a monolithic one. Many institutions or companies have opposed or reserved attitudes. Also yesterday, the GPEC of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council announced that it had formally submitted a protest letter to the US Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission ITC against tariffs on photovoltaic cells and components manufactured in China. It has also become the only economic development organization in the United States that has demonstrated its official position against the US ruling against China. It is reported that GPEC plans to participate in the official hearing of the US International Trade Commission for this investigation. The hearing will be held on October 3 this year. As an important economic development organization in the Phoenix area of ​​Arizona, GPEC has been launching incentives to encourage the development of the renewable energy industry in recent years, attracting many solar companies to invest in Arizona. It is estimated that anti-dumping will result in 14877 to 43178 job losses in Greater Phoenix in 2014. "We predict that solar tariffs on China will lead to huge job losses, and Arizona's solar installed capacity ranks third in the United States. There is no doubt that the addition of tariffs will not only cause solar companies to change their business models, but will also make the future Chinese companies investing in Arizona have become more challenging,” said GPEC Chairman and CEO Barry Bloom. In addition, the US Solar Energy Industry Association has issued a number of research reports, clarifying the failure of US solar companies, the poor market, and the view that this is the result of unfair competition among Chinese PV companies. "In any case, it is necessary for China to reflect on the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry in recent years. Although the current industry dilemma is related to the economic crisis, it is also the blind expansion of PV companies in the past few years, and the local government has encouraged the brewing of bitter wine." Meng Xianyu said.
