Zhao Zhongxiu: The difficulties behind the reconciliation of the China-EU photovoltaic war10European cents

Vice President Zhao Zhongxiu of the w88 casinotold this reporter that this is the first time in history that China and the EU have resolved a photovoltaic dispute through a price commitment agreement instead of anti-dumping tax rates. Previous similar cases have generally reached agreements through export quantity restrictions rather than minimum price restrictions.
In materials sent to this newspaper, the EU stated that the solution is to strive to achieve a balance between two core factors: that the EU is a stable supply market for solar photovoltaic products and to prevent damaging dumping practices. The EU also said that price commitments were one of the methods chosen by the EU from the beginning.
Zhao Zhongxiu believes that the final result poses a challenge to the company's comprehensive capabilities. The model represented by Suntech is big but not strong; Chinese photovoltaic companies with low labor costs, low-priced land from the government, and large investments will face a comprehensive reshuffle. But it is a good thing for photovoltaic companies that improve photovoltaic conversion rates, improve business models, and develop domestic demand markets.
Li Rongkun, general manager of Jiangsu Phalun Solar Technology Co., Ltd., also agrees with this view. He believes that price commitments are better than traditional double-anti-tax rules.
He believes that the traditional double-reverse tax must be handed over to the government, and it is a prohibitive tax rate. But limiting the minimum price forces companies to increase their export prices, and part of the price increase is the extra profits the companies themselves make. It is a more win-win result for both parties. Chinese companies can also maintain exports to the EU, and the EU can also protect local companies and control the market share of Chinese products exported to the EU.
“This is a double-edged sword. An increase in price also means a reduction in competitive advantages and orders. On the other hand, it is also in line with the country’s reform direction of adjusting excess photovoltaic production capacity and transforming to higher-quality products.” Chen Qi said.
He told this reporter that the announcement was just the beginning. Next, companies must follow the requirements of the European Commission to reorganize the entire process of order-taking-production-delivery-customs clearance, which will take roughly2~3Months.
