The EU duties, which will come into effect once the Commission publishes the decision in its Official Journal, will be set at an average of 47 percent, officials said.

Trade specialists from all 27 EU countries will be consulted on May 15 at a meeting in Brussels and are expected to back the decision, although their position is non-binding.

The European Commission declined to comment.

Chinese solar panel production quadrupled between 2009 and 2011 to more than the entire global demand. EU producers say Chinese companies have captured more than 80 percent of the European market from almost zero a few years ago, exporting 21 billion euros ($27 billion) to the European Union in 2011.

As a result, Chinese-made panels are as much as 45 percent cheaper than those made in Europe, industry executives say.

Ik had er hier eerder ook al melding van gemaakt,maar dan in relatie met een importheffing van 30%.Het zal me niet verbazen als energieboeren hier een lobby voor hebben opgezet.
