Sino-German joint protest photovoltaic energy industry officials punitive tariffs

The two EU officials said the European Commission on Wednesday agreed to impose punitive tariffs on imports of solar panels from China. After China and Germany, new energy industry officials issued a statement on Germany's largest trade and economic newspaper "Handelsblatt" jointly protest this punitive tariffs. Involved in the declaration were the counselor of the State Council of China, the China Renewable Energy Society, Shi Dinghuan and Stephen, president of the German Energy Agency - Kohler

(StephanKohler), the two said in a joint statement, punitive tariffs, once opened, it may occur to a trade war, have a negative impact on the German equipment and product vendors. German PV manufacturers accused Chinese government subsidies global overcapacity. But the correct question should be: In which countries has not yet PV inverter companies provide grants?

The statement called: German with Chinese enterprises to strengthen cooperation in the field of vision of the whole value chain, to achieve mutual benefit and win-win in the growing Chinese and global PV market. The European Commission launched in September and November last year, the "double reverse" survey for solar panels imported from China, involving domestic Chinese exports to the EU amount up to 21 billion euros (about 27.6 billion U.S. dollars), the industry known as the history of the European Union involved the largest amount of "dual" cases.

State Department counselor, president of the China Renewable Energy Society, Shi Dinghuan German Energy Agency Stephen - the Kohler (StephanKohler), currently still in Germany and Europe, the decline of the photovoltaic industry heated debate has already presumed guilty parties: Chinese manufacturer of photovoltaic products. European Union in the framework of anti-dumping proceedings to consider punitive tariffs on Chinese photovoltaic products supplier. Chinese mppt charge controller products manufacturer is accused by the government subsidies, cheap products offer all other competitors to destroy.

In fact, it led to fierce competition worldwide excess production capacity of photovoltaic panels. About 60 million kilowatts of production capacity in the world, but sales were only 30 million kilowatts. Incentive competition naturally follow. All businesses are struggling to survive, many companies already fled. The most well-known event, Bosch and Siemens has withdrawn from this area.

However, a large number of manufacturers in the United States and China are suffering experienced. In this industry, all businesses are not making any money, and can only be recorded in the books on the deficit. This case will go on forever, until the end of the shuffle on the market. Of course, another possibility is to open up new markets, thereby increasing sales. Who are the victims of this fierce competition? The industry as a whole, or part of the industry, or the manufacturers of certain products. General accusations can not solve the problem.
