SolarWorld To Mount Additional Chinese Solar Trade Complaint In Europe

SolarIndustryMag.com
SolarWorld AG, the Germany-based parent company of SolarWorld Industries America Inc., plans to file an anti-dumping complaint against its Chinese competitors in Europe. CEO Frank Asbeck told Bloomberg that the company has sought to partner with other European companies when it makes its case to the European Commission's competition agency. According to Asbeck, China-based manufacturers dumped their PV modules on the German market at below-market prices, contributing to Germany's year-end installation boom. In October 2011, SolarWorld Industries America filed a similar anti-dumping complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission. Investigation into the complaint is ongoing.
