China’s crabbing Europe is being unfair about solar components

BEIJING/GENEVA (Reuters) – China lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization on Monday to challenge the European Union’s support for its solar power components industry, adding to a growing body of claims of unfair competition in the sector.

The move also shows increasing concern by WTO members for “local content requirements” – countries insisting on domestic producers getting to supply a certain portion of a particular project. That is normally a breach of WTO rules because it discriminates against foreign firms.

China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement that some EU countries’ laws provided subsidies for solar power generation if components for the projects were produced in Europe.
