Solar Trade Wars
- 17th May 2013
It seems that the European Commission is on the verge of declaring a trade war with China over the import of solar panels worth €21bn (£18bn) a year. The Commission is considering whether to impose an average "anti-dumping" import tariff of 47% on solar panels imported into the region.
Some European solar PV manufacturers may claim it’s a way of levelling the playing field, but the ... Continue reading
