The EU directly rejected the negotiation plan and did not respond to the Chinese explanation.

The first round of negotiations on the China-EU photovoltaic case broke down

The industry said that the last 15 days of the turnaround is difficult, PV companies will be levied high taxes

"Because the European side did not show any sincerity in solving the problem through consultation, the first round of negotiations ended without result and broke down." At 4:39 pm on the 22nd, China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products (hereinafter referred to as the Chamber of Commerce for Electromechanical Industry) in Beijing Formally issue a public statement.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the conference room on the 9th floor of the Panjiayuan Building just ended the consultation with the European Commission on the return of the Electromechanical Chamber of Commerce, and urgently held a small-scale media briefing to inform the latest progress of the consultation.

Zhang Jingjing, president of the Chamber of Electromechanical Chamber of Commerce, said that the EU's anti-corruption case against China's photovoltaic products has been communicated and negotiated by the Chinese government and the European Commission. The two sides agreed that the China Electro-Mechanical Chamber of Commerce will represent the Chinese PV industry on the price commitments of the case and the European Commission. negotiation. "In the near future, at the invitation of the European Commission, the Chamber of Mechanical and Electrical Affairs sent a negotiating working group to discuss with the European side. We communicated with the European Commission with great sincerity and in the principle of cooperation and win-win, and proposed a pragmatic and practicable price commitment plan. However, the European side directly rejected the negotiation plan proposed by the Chinese industry and did not respond to the questions and explanations put forward by the negotiation working group."

"We cherish the opportunity of consultation very much, but we did not expect it to accept such a result." According to Wang Guiqing, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of Electrical and Mechanical Industry, the Chamber of Commerce and domestic PV companies have proposed a very detailed price commitment plan after repeated discussion and discussion. For both parties, the result of mutual benefit and win-win results can be achieved.

According to legal sources, the price commitments are less likely to be lost to domestic industries than taxation measures. The price promise is to increase the price of domestic enterprises' export products, while the increase in profits is to stay in the country, and the double-reverse tax is to be given to Europe.

At this time, there are only a short 15 days from the initial release of the EU. If it is not possible to reach a consensus before the European preliminary ruling, once the taxation begins, then even if the consultation plan can be used, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the lost market of the Chinese PV industry will be irreparable.

"The attitude of the European side not to talk about veto, and to advance the difficult negotiation process, we feel tremendous pressure, very anxious," said Wang Guiqing, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of Electrical and Mechanical Industry. "We care about whether we can talk about it, can we timely Tan Cheng, can there be no measures that have seriously affected China's industry in this process, so that this case can be resolved smoothly."

Insiders pointed out that the European Commission's restrictions on China's photovoltaics seem to be holding on to the determination to be determined, and the nephew of negotiating and negotiating is actually procrastinating and constantly testing the Chinese limit. Because they also know that if the Sino-European double-reverse can not reach a consensus within a limited 15 days, China's photovoltaic industry will be devastated.

On the other hand, in order to achieve the goal, the European side constantly challenged the WTO rules in the investigation, regardless of the opposition of the EU industry. According to a person familiar with the matter, we have pointed out in many written defenses and hearings that the European Commission has serious legal problems in terms of appeal qualification, sampling, causality and replacement price. However, the European Commission has never made a positive response. “For example, the high dumping margin is based on the alternative price offered by Indian producers. However, as of now, the Chinese side did not find the answer to the Indian producer’s replacement price in the case materials. The head of the European Commission responded that the materials given were given This is not a fact."

The reporter was informed that at present, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce is in the final consultations between Europe and the European Commission before the preliminary ruling. This round of intergovernmental negotiations has become the key to the current turnaround.

According to industry analysis, Germany's position is crucial as the initiator of the largest economy in the European Union and the “double-reverse case” of photovoltaics. According to foreign media reports on May 19, German Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy Philipp Rsler and German industry have put pressure on the European Commission, hoping to prevent the EU from imposing punitive tariffs on Chinese solar products, and said the EU’s move It is a "serious error."

In addition, the door to negotiations between the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the European Union has not been closed. “Electrical and Mechanical Chamber of Commerce will continue to communicate with the European Commission through the contact mechanism. Of course, we also hope that communication can be positively responded.” Wang Guiqing said that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will also report to the Chinese government in a timely manner, requesting active communication from the government level. At the same time, we will also listen to the opinions of Chinese PV companies and do some preparatory work.

But even so, the industry expects results to be optimistic. "The political factor of this double-reverse ruling is greater than the economic factor. The EU has reached a consensus on taxation against China. Unless there is a major change, the probability of a change is small," said a photovoltaic industry association. Meng Xianyu, vice chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society, also believes that there is little suspense in the EU's sanctions against the Chinese PV industry. He also stressed that once the EU's "double-reverse" ruling is passed, China may also counter it. "If we continue, the damage will only be the trade between China and the EU, and let each other fall into the deadlock of the trade war."
