EU raises anti-dumping duties on Chinese solar glass
Aug 14, 2015 17:26 CEST
August 14 – The European Commission today imposed higher anti-dumping duties on imports of solar glass from China.
The revised rate of anti-dumping duty ranges from 17.5 to 75.4 %, according to Regulation (EU) 2015/1394 published today in the Official Journal of the EU.
The European Commission has decided to revise upwards the existing measures as a new investigation has confirmed that Chinese exporting producers have absorbed the anti-dumping duty in force so far.
The increase of the measures will only have a limited impact on the total costs of the solar modules, in the order of magnitude of 2-3 %, the Commission’s investigation said.
Chinese solar glass imports have been subject to anti-dumping duties of up to 36.1% and anti-subsidy levies of up to 17.1% since May 2014, for five years.
The current revision was prompted by a complaint by Solar industry association EU ProSun Glass. The latter, whose members represent more than 25 % of the total EU production of solar glass, lodged a request for reinvestigation of the original anti-dumping measures in November 2014.
On reopening of its solar glass investigation, the Commission chose to sample two Chinese exporters of solar glass, Flat Solar Glass Group Co., Ltd and Xinyi PV Products (Anhui) Holdings, since the two groups represent more than 60 % of total Chinese exports to the EU.
Between December 2013 and November 2014m, the export prices of Flat Solar Glass Group fell on average by 17.6 % , while prices of the Xinyi Group dropped by 30.4%.
