  Ningbo photovoltaic enterprises or in case of "disaster", 15 Yong enterprises involved
Yesterday, the European Union officially launched the anti-dumping investigation of of China photovoltaic solar products range including crystalline silicon PV modules, batteries and silicon. This is so far the EU is China's largest trade litigation, with the pre-Chinese photovoltaic products "dual" is not the same, once the European Union to impose high anti-dumping duties on Chinese photovoltaic products, the Chinese PV industry will suffer a disaster.

  The EU is the main market for PV companies
  Ministry of Commerce data show that The 2011 Chinese photovoltaic cells on exports to the EU the amount of $ 20.4 billion, approximately 60% of the European photovoltaic products from China, exports to the EU accounted for more than 70% of the exports of Chinese photovoltaic products. Prior to the PV industry in China, the United States has to take anti-dumping countervailing investigation measures. The EU initiated anti-dumping investigation of Chinese photovoltaic products, China PV industry will face the predicament flank.
  "Ningbo is the main production base of the photovoltaic industry, with hundreds of various types of photovoltaic enterprises, the EU's anti-dumping investigations, 15 Ningbo enterprises involved in the EU market accounted for 80% of the exports of Ningbo PV companies if the EU Chinese product dumping established, Ningbo enterprises will be drowned. "Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau of Foreign Trade Management Office Deputy Director Fan Xiaojun said.
  Ningbo Customs statistics show that, by the EU governments to cancel subsidies for photovoltaic products, the EU importers continued to drive down the price of photovoltaic products in China, the first seven months of this year, exports of Ningbo solar cells 4,243,000, an increase of 99 .2%. Volume growth at the same time, the unit price has continued to decline, the value of total exports of $ 370 million, a year-on-year decline of 38.1%, the average export price of each battery is $ 86.3, down 69% year-on-year.
  The enterprises involved will be commenced responding
  After the EU launched China PV anti-dumping investigations, the news, the city some of the enterprises involved to fight to win transnational lawsuit.
  Ningbo Sun-Earth Solar Power Co., Ltd. is a veteran of photovoltaic products export enterprises in the city. Dry in New Delhi, the company chairman, said the EU is the main export market, the EU's anti-dumping investigation is completely untenable, the company is closely observed events to prepare a joint industry enterprises start with the respondent.
  Electronics Industry Association of Ningbo and Ningbo Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau is also coordination of enterprises involved in multi-party, ready to organize the participation of enterprises involved in responding to the industry average rate of defense. The next week, the Ministry of Commerce will organize the country involved a large amount of export enterprises and relevant industry associations to discuss countermeasures, the city's electronics industry association will also participate in the meeting.
  However, in Fan Xiaojun Ningbo enterprises involved in the case is difficult to fight the best results. Industry average tax rate in the EU anti-dumping suits defense and defense enterprises separate tax in accordance with the practice of the EU's anti-dumping investigation, only five companies have the opportunity to participate in the industry before a separate tax rate of responding, but the scale of the highest ranking of Ningbo enterprises export also 20 bit about, we can only participate in the defense of the industry average rate in the general case, the defense of the industry average rate will be in a higher tax rate. undoubtedly very unfavorable. "within 9 to 15 months, the EU will make a preliminary
  Yesterday, the Commerce Department also responded. Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang said publicly that, since the financial crisis, the world economic recovery has stagnated, countries photovoltaic industry business difficulties, bankruptcy phenomenon, and China is no exception. , Central European photovoltaic industry is an interdependent, mutually beneficial cooperative relations. Limit the photovoltaic cells, not only hurt the interests of both sides industry will also destroy the healthy development of the global PV industry and clean energy.
  Shen Danyang stressed that China called on the European side will proceed from the overall situation of China-EU economic and trade cooperation, and seriously consider China's stance and proposals, trade frictions through consultation and cooperation to solve the photovoltaic products.
  It is reported that the EU will make a preliminary ruling on the case within 9 to 15 months.
  Domestic and international emerging markets or new opportunities
  In related news, India is also likely to take anti-dumping measures on China PV. Ningbo PV companies have also increased in this the multi "siege" situation, the efforts to expand the domestic market and export market.
  "Domestic sales may be a way out of our company are to expand the domestic market in Inner Mongolia and other places we secured a number of projects, the key is the guidance of the government to encourage the policy to be as soon as possible." The dry New Delhi said.
  "Although the PV industry in the European market has been affected, but emerging markets like ours, ushered in the development of new opportunities." Ningbo Sun-Earth Solar Power Co., Ltd., the official said.
  According to the National Energy Board public information display, the "12th Five-Year" period, China will become the world's largest PV market.
  Currently Ningbo Beilun Sun-Earth is to create a world-class photovoltaic industrial park. The total investment reached 30 billion yuan will be put into operation to become the country's three world-class photovoltaic industry base, with annual sales expected to reach 150 billion yuan. -Terrestrial solar energy company in the European market as the core market in the past, and now has a new market expansion goals aimed at the domestic market.
  Ningbo photovoltaic industry emerging enterprises Xin Friends photovoltaic Rio Tinto is also the domestic market. The company has the most competitive product sales to major coastal markets in the south, in Inner Mongolia and other new markets also continued to receive new orders.
  Municipality pointed out, Ningbo PV companies in addition to tap the domestic market demand, emerging markets overseas, particularly in Southeast Asia, Australia, the market demand for PV products is enlarged, has a competitive advantage in these markets photovoltaic products. Enterprises for up to 70% of export concentration, the switching of the market is clearly not so fast. PV enterprises are facing difficulties are obvious.
