On the 29th, the reporter learned from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products that the response to the "double-reverse" investigation of US solar products, the United States or the expansion of the scope of investigation of China's photovoltaic products, Chinese companies have submitted detailed objections on the 28th. The US International Trade Commission (ITC) and the US Department of Commerce will rule on the exact scope of the investigation in the future.
On October 19th, seven US PV manufacturers, led by SolarWorld, filed an application with the US government to file anti-dumping and countervailing investigations ("double-reverse" investigations) on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell products from China. The US International Trade Commission and the US Department of Commerce have filed cases on October 19 and November 8, respectively.
According to the Chinese response lawyer and Li Lei, the Beijing office of Sidley International Law Firm, the original investigations filed by the US company SolarWorld and six other companies are crystalline silicon cells imported from China, and battery components imported from China. The use of batteries produced in other countries is outside the scope of this survey.
However, the appealing company suddenly filed an application on the afternoon of the 8th IT C preliminary hearing, requesting to expand the scope of the investigation, the components and panels containing crystalline silicon cells assembled in China (whether the crystalline silicon battery used is from China or The third country) and the third country use components and panels produced by Chinese-made crystalline silicon batteries, and these two types of products are also included in the survey.
“The scope of this investigation will be directed to Chinese-made 'batteries' and 'components'. If IT C agrees to this application, it will greatly expand the scope of the investigation and include many Chinese companies that were not involved in the case. This sudden application expands the scope of the investigation. The practice is very rare, it is the behavior of the complaining company to obviously manipulate the investigation procedure." Li Lei said.
According to reports, Chinese responding companies have launched a series of work on this issue. At the IT C hearing, the Chinese responding company argued that IT C failed to collect data on the scope of the expanded product and should not accept applications for expanding the product range. Chinese companies have also submitted detailed objections to the US Department of Commerce on the 28th. IT C and the US Department of Commerce will rule on the exact scope of the investigation in the future.
Li Lei said that although the outcome of the ruling is still unpredictable, Chinese companies are ready to respond to surveys based on expanded product range. At present, the investigation procedures of IT C and the US Department of Commerce are in the preliminary stage. IT C will issue a preliminary ruling on December 5. The US Department of Commerce will likely make preliminary rulings on countervailing and anti-dumping investigations in January and February 2012, respectively, but these dates may be extended to March and May, respectively.
It is reported that the problem of domestic industrial damage in the "double-reverse" investigation is a common problem that all Chinese responding companies need to defend. Therefore, under the coordination of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products, China's 14 major PV cell manufacturers formed a joint response team to conduct joint defenses in a sound and one step in the industrial damage investigation process. This will greatly improve the effectiveness of Chinese companies' response.
At the press conference on the 29th, representatives from Yingli, Suntech, Trina Solar, Artes and other more than 10 other companies in the industry said that the application is for China's photovoltaic industry and photovoltaic products. The distortion of the status quo of US exports. China's photovoltaic products have competitive advantages. The fundamental reason is the accumulation of photovoltaic industry chain in China in recent years, the high management level of Chinese PV companies, advanced production technology, production scale advantages and forward-looking business strategies.
Compared with the US and European countries, the Chinese government has much less support for the photovoltaic industry. According to incomplete statistics, SolarW orld received approximately $43 million in tax credits and public subsidies in the 2007 Oregon New Plant Construction Project, and received €18.75 million and €45 million in Europe in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Government funding. "We don't have a company that receives such subsidies, and even no fractions." Shi Zhengrong, chairman and CEO of Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. said.
Yan Xiaotong, Chairman and CEO of Artes Solar Power Technology Co., Ltd. said that the "double-reverse" case made me feel that the pace of internationalization of China's solar energy industry is faster, and the internationalization capability needs to be improved. We must acquire technology, Faster and more comprehensive progress in quality, service, legal affairs, government relations, etc.
Wang Guiqing, vice president of China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products, said that China's photovoltaic industry is an important part of the international PV industry chain and has made tremendous contributions to the US and global PV industry. The development of China's PV industry has promoted the development of the global PV industry chain. Global polysilicon production increased from less than 20,000 tons in 2004 to 160,000 tons in 2010. China imports more than $2 billion in raw materials such as polysilicon, EVA, and pulp from the United States each year.
It is reported that the "double-reverse" response work of Chinese PV companies has received strong support from mainstream US PV companies. At present, the US PV industry has formed an organization called "Pacific Energy Alliance" (CA SE), which includes 101 US companies covering all aspects of the US PV industry chain. The CA SE organization expressed its support for the position of Chinese PV companies in the “double-reverse†investigation, accusing SolarWorld of its actions that will undermine the progress of the global PV industry for decades, threaten tens of thousands of jobs in the US, and strongly urge SolarW orld to withdraw applications. .
