中文版 中国光伏行业协会 关于 美国“201调查”结果的严正声明 美国东部时间2017年9月22日，美国国际贸易委员会就光伏电池及组件全球保障措施调查（“201”调查）作出损害裁决，认定进口产品对美国内产业造成了严重损害，下一步将研究对进口产品采取限制措施。中国光伏行业协会代表中国光伏行业对此表示坚决反对。 正如中国商务部贸易救济调查局局长王贺军指出的，“美国调查机关坚持认定进口光伏产品严重损害国内产业，不仅增加了光伏产品全球正常贸易的不确定性，也无助于美国内光伏产业健康、均衡发展。”事实上，此前欧盟对中国光伏产品发起贸易保护措施后的历史证明，滥用贸易保护措施不仅不能保护本国产业，反而会带来市场萎缩，需求下降，劳工失业等一系列严重后果。美国国际贸易委员会的举措不仅会在短期内引发新一轮的囤货和抢装需求，更有可能冲击美国长期的光伏装机量。事实上，美国调查机关的做法甚至遭到美国光伏产业界的反对。美国太阳能产业协会(SEIA)总裁兼首席执行官阿比盖尔•罗斯•霍珀(Abigail Ross Hopper)表示:“美国国际贸易委员会的决定令近9000家美国太阳能公司和26万名美国人感到失望。” 我们注意到，本次201调查的结果仍然需要由美国总统最终决定是否对国内产业实施贸易救济，以及贸易救济的方式和实施期限。目前中美两国政府正在合作准备特朗普总统对中国的国事访问。值此重要时刻，我们希望美国政府能做出最符合行业发展，符合两国人民利益的决断。中国光伏行业协会也会积极与各利益相关方进行沟通，为推动全球光伏产业持续健康发展不懈努力。 中国光伏行业协会 2017年9月24日 英文版 Solemn Statement on ITC’s Ruling of Section 201 Investigations by China Photovoltaic Industry Association On September 22nd, 2017 (EDT), the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) made the injury ruling in the global safeguards investigations (Section 201 investigations), holding that the import of photovoltaic cells and modules had seriously harmed American photovoltaic industry, and decided to conduct follow-up studies of limit measures on imported products. China Photovoltaic Industry Association, on behalf of China photovoltaic industry, is resolutely opposed to this ruling. As pointed out by Wang Hejun, director of the Trade Remedy Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce of China: "the fact that the U.S. investigative authority insists that the import of PV products has seriously harmed its domestic industry not only increases the uncertainties of the global trade of PV products, but also damages healthy and balanced development of the U.S. PV industry. " The history that the European Union adopted trade protection measures against Chinese PV products has proven that the abuse of trade protection measures cannot protect industries; instead, these measures would only cause grave consequences, such as a shrinking market, declining demands and unemployment. USITC's ruling will not only lead to a new round of hoarding demand and installation rush in the short term, but impact the US long-term PV installed capacity. In fact, the ruling is even opposed by the U.S. PV industry. Abigail Ross Hopper, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA), stated: “USITC's decision has disappointed nearly 9,000 companies and 260,000 workers in the U.S. solar industry.” We have noticed that the results of this Section 201 investigations still need to be finalized by the U.S. President, deciding whether to implement trade remedies on the domestic industry, how and how long. Now, the Chinese and U.S. governments are working together to prepare for President Trump's state visit to China. At this key juncture, we hope that the U.S. government can make a wise decision that are in line with the industrial development and the interests of our two peoples. China Photovoltaic Industry Association will actively communicate with the stakeholders and devote unremitting efforts to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the global PV industry.
