The European Commission has launched an anti-dumping investigation regarding solar panel imports from China. The move comes after the European industry association EU Pro Sun lodged a complaint, claiming that solar panels and their key components imported from China have been entering the European marketplace at prices below their market value.
Yesterday, the commission claimed that in terms of import value that has been affected, this is the most significant anti-dumping complaint it has received so far.
It said that, in 2011, China exported solar panels and their key components, such as solar cells and solar wafers, worth about €21bn to the EU.
