In 2012, the European Photovoltaic Manufacturers Association EU ProSun filed a complaint with the European Commission, accusing the Chinese imports of photovoltaic products receiving government subsidies. After a lapse of three years, the European Photovoltaic Manufacturers Association EU ProSun filed a complaint with the European Commission again, accusing the Chinese competitors of rushing to sell goods to Europe through third places such as Malaysia to avoid tariffs. Milan Nitzschke, chairman of EU ProSun and vice president of SolarWorld, said that nearly 30% of China's PV products are evading EU tariff measures in the above-mentioned way.
Dutch tax inspectors searched a number of suspicious locations in April to find out that an importer had transferred photovoltaic panels to Europe via ports such as Malaysia, escaping 65% of tariffs, amounting to 12 million euros. The Solar World Company, which filed a complaint, asked the European Commission to launch an anti-circumvention investigation to block these shipping pipelines. The European Photovoltaic Manufacturers Association asked the European Commission to review the lower limit measures for the lowest prices in the mainland.
According to reports, the European Commission has monitored the "limited price limit" program and proposed to exclude three solar manufacturers accused of violating conditions. Some trade experts said that the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is also investigating the situation in which some importers have not paid tariffs on photovoltaic panels. The office is not willing to comment on this.
The "Limited Limit" solution reached by the European Commission and Chinese PV manufacturers will expire in December 2015. Although the European Photovoltaic Manufacturers Association is not satisfied with this plan, it said it will seek extension before it expires, otherwise Chinese competitors will be able to export products to the European market without duty.
The "expiration review" requirement put forward by the association may begin in September. If the European Commission accepts the proposal, the EU-China price commitment plan and tariff measures will be extended for at least one year while the review is in progress.
