The EU’s “photovoltaic w88 protection” may lead to retaliation from China
Xinhuanet Beijing5month10日电The European Commission has agreed on6month6Plan to impose temporary punitive tariffs on Chinese-made solar energy products starting from 2020, with an average tax rate of47．6%, among which, the highest is up to67．9％。
The temporary punitive tariffs are scheduled to be levied until this year12Month. By then, if China and the EU cannot reach a solution to the solar product w88 issue, the temporary punitive tariffs will be extended to5Year.
Yi Xiaozhun, China’s Permanent Representative to the World w88 Organization, said that this is a wrong signal of w88 protectionism sent by the EU to the world.
The European Commission was separated last year9Yuehe11An anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into Chinese photovoltaic products was launched in March.
w88 analysts interviewed by Xinhua News Agency reporters said that if the EU's tax increase action is implemented as planned, China's solar industry will suffer a heavy blow, many companies will go bankrupt, and tens of thousands of workers will lose their jobs.
China believes that the EU's tariff increase will not solve the livelihood problems of European solar panel manufacturers. Instead, it will damage the production and export of high value-added solar components in Europe to China, and will also cause long-term damage to the development of new energy in Europe.
China Ministry of Commerce Spokesperson Yao Jian9Japan said that China firmly opposes the EU's restrictions on Chinese photovoltaic products and hopes that the EU will rule on this case prudently. He said:“We don’t want to see‘w88 war’, but if the European side imposes restrictions on photovoltaic products, we will also effectively safeguard the interests of Chinese companies.”
w88 analysts said this could be seen as a clear warning message from China against the EU’s tariff increase.
Vice President Zhao Zhongxiu of the w88 casinoIt is also said that in response to the EU's w88 protectionist action, China can also choose to include more high value-added products that the EU is eager to promote to China“Revenge List”In order to achieve the purpose of reversing the unfavorable situation.
This EU w88 protectionist action has also caused strong opposition from European solar equipment import and installation companies and consumers.
Representing Europe450The European Affordable Solar Alliance, an industry association of many photovoltaic product consumer companies8Issued a statement on the 16th that it strongly opposes the EU's imposition of punitive import tariffs on Chinese photovoltaic products. This move will significantly increase the price of photovoltaic products, thereby causing demand disruption, and“Destroy”The photovoltaic market across the EU.
The German Forecasting Institute stated in a research report that the EU's w88 protectionist action will cause a large number of unemployment in Europe, which may cause 80,000 unemployment in Germany alone, involving photovoltaic industry suppliers and installation companies.
