Economic Information Daily “reporter 29 in China Machinery and Electronic Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce’s response to the U.S. solar energy products” double reverse “investigation conference that the United States or China to expand the scope of the investigation of photovoltaic products, Chinese companies have submitted on the 28th detailed objections, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and U.S. Department of Commerce will be forthcoming on the exact scope of the investigation ruled.
October 19, 7, led to SolarWorld’s U.S. PV manufacturers apply to the U.S. government, from China to the crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell products antidumping and countervailing investigations (“double reverse” survey). U.S. International Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Commerce, respectively on October 19 and November 8 to be placed on file.
According to the Chinese respondent attorney, Sidley Austin LLP Beijing Office Li Lei lawyers, the U.S. appeals companies SolarWorld and other six companies filed the original survey was imported from China crystalline silicon cells, and batteries imported from China parts produced in other countries such as the use of batteries is not within the scope of this investigation.
However, the complainant’s business in the 8 preliminary hearing before the ITC One afternoon a sudden made a request to expand the scope of the investigation, will be assembled in China with components of crystalline silicon cells and panels (regardless of the use of crystalline silicon cells from Chinese or third countries) with third countries to use in the production of crystalline silicon cells made components and panels, these two types of products included in the survey.
“This survey will be made for the ‘battery’ and ‘components’. If the ITC agreed that the application will greatly expand the scope of the investigation the case will be a lot of Chinese companies involved in the case had no investigation into the case. This sudden application to expand the scope of investigation The practice is very rare, is a clear manipulation of the complaint investigation procedures corporate behavior. “Lei said.
According to reports, the Chinese enterprises involved in a series of work has commenced on this issue. In the ITC hearing, the defense said the Chinese enterprises involved in the ITC failed to collect data on the expanded product range of data, so should not accept an application to expand the product range. Chinese enterprises have also been on the 28th to the U.S. Department of Commerce submitted a detailed objection. ITC and the U.S. Department of Commerce will be forthcoming on the exact scope of the investigation ruled.
Lei said that although the verdict is still difficult to predict, Chinese companies ready to address the expanded range of products based on the investigation. At present, ITC and the U.S. Department of Commerce are in the preliminary stages of investigation procedures. ITC will be released December 5, the preliminary ruling. U.S. Department of Commerce will be in January 2012 and February, respectively, on countervailing and anti-dumping investigations made the preliminary ruling, but the dates were also likely to be postponed to March and May.
It is reported that “double reverse” survey in the U.S. domestic industry is required of all Chinese enterprises involved in the defense of the common problems. Therefore, CCCME in China under the coordination of China’s 14 major manufacturers of photovoltaic cells formed a joint team of the respondent, the industry injury investigation procedure with one voice, one step joint defense. This will greatly enhance the effectiveness of Chinese enterprises responding.
In the 29th day of the conference, from Yingli, Suntech, Trina Solar, solar giant Artes and the four others in the industry more than 10 business representatives said that the application of China’s PV industry and photovoltaic products exported to the U.S. state of distortion. Chinese PV products have a competitive advantage, simply because in recent years in China PV industry chain cluster development, the Chinese PV companies with higher level of management, advanced production technology, production scale advantages and forward-looking business strategy.
Compared with U.S. and European countries, the Chinese government’s support for the photovoltaic industry is much less. According to incomplete statistics, SolarWorld, Oregon in 2007, the United States in respect of new plant construction projects received about $ 43 million in tax breaks and public subsidies, and in 2010 and 2011, respectively, in Europe in 1875 million euros and 45 million euros government funding. “We did not get such a business subsidy, not even a fraction.” Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. Shi Zhengrong, Chairman and CEO, said.
Artes Sun Power Technology Co., Ltd. Xiao Hua Qu, Chairman and CEO, said, “dual” case made me feel that the pace of the internationalization of China’s solar industry to faster, the ability to enhance a number of international, we have made in technology, quality, service, legal, government relations faster and more comprehensive in progress.
China Import and Export of electromechanical products Chamber of Commerce vice president Wang Guiqing said China International Solar panel PV industry is an important part of the industrial chain of photovoltaic industry in the United States and around the world made a great contribution. China PV industry chain to promote the development of the global PV industry, the global polysilicon production from 2004 to 2010, less than 2 tons to 16 tons. China’s annual imports from the United States more than 20 billion dollars in polysilicon, EVA, pulp and other raw materials.
It is reported that Chinese PV companies “dual” response by the U.S. mainstream photovoltaic business support. Currently, the U.S. PV industry has been formed called “cheap solar power alliance” (CASE) organization whose members include 101 U.S. companies, the U.S. PV industry chain covering all aspects. CASE organization of the Chinese PV companies in the “double reverse” survey expressed support for the position, criticized the behavior of SolarWorld photovoltaic industry will undermine global progress for decades, threatening tens of thousands of American jobs, and strongly urged SolarWorld withdrawn .
