EU slaps levies on Chinese solar panel imports

摘要

THE European Union said it will impose anti-dumping levies on imports of Chinese solar panels, in a move that could trigger a trade war between two of the world's largest economies. The 27-nation bloc will impose a tariff of about 12 percent on the import of solar panels, cells and wafers this week, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht announced. That will increase to an average of 47 per cent in August unless a settlement is reached with China in the next 60 days.
