German Chancellor Angela Merkel seeks talks involving the European Commission and
Chinese authorities to prevent the opening of anti-dumping proceedings against Chinese
solar-panel makers in Europe.

Merkel proposed trying “to solve the problems in the solar sector so one can prevent
that an anti-dumping case has to be opened,” she told reporters today in Beijing.“
There’s still time, and it would be better to solve this in talks.”

Germany’s biggest panel maker, is leading a push by about 25 European manufacturers
for the commission to probe whether Chinese rivals sold products at a loss on regional
markets. The U.S. has proposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 31 percent to 250
percent on Chinese solar manufacturers after the Commerce Department in May ruled
they sold products below costs.
