EU imposes levies on Chinese solar panel imports![]() June 4, 2013 - 18:25 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The European Commission has announced it is imposing temporary anti-dumping levies on Chinese solar panel imports, BBC News reported. It comes despite opposition from Germany and other European Union members, and amid fears it could spark a trade war. The Commission - the EU's executive arm - argues that Chinese firms are unfairly undercutting rivals. EU trade commissioner Karel De Gucht has said Chinese panels are being sold below cost and damaging competition. The measures come into force on Thursday, 6 June, in all of the bloc's 27 member states. Initially they will be in force for a trial period. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
