EU mulling anti-circumvention measures on Asia solar exports, says report

Following the anti-dumping and countervailing measures imposed by the US on China and Taiwan solar PV makers, the European Union (EU) is now investigating other Asia countries for allegedly helping China violate the terms of a solar-export agreement it has with the EU, said Jason Huang, a research manager at EnergyTrend. The EU and China previously reached an agreement that allows solar panels from China to be sold to Europe in limited volumes at a fixed price, but EU ProSun, a joint initiative of European solar businesses, alleges that other countries are importing unfinished China solar products, putting the finishing touches on them and then exporting the products to Europe, he said, adding that South Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan are currently being investigated.
