media reports that Chinese photovoltaic practitioners were taken away for investigation when they attended the Munich International Solar Energy Technology Expo in Germany. It is understood that the parties only assisted in the investigation and have now returned to the hotel . This time, only one person assisted in the investigation , not involving a number of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises , nor did there appear a number of personnel to assist in the investigation .
China Photovoltaic Industry Association firmly safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises, but also reminds enterprises to pay attention to compliance with local laws and regulations. If you have any questions, please contact the local embassy or consulate or China Photovoltaic Industry Association in time.

On the afternoon of June 12, a news report appeared on the Internet that "senior executives of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises were taken away after getting off the plane in Munich, Germany". For detailed reports, please click " Sudden!"! A senior executive of a photovoltaic company was taken away after getting off the plane in Munich, Germany. The original text of the
report is as follows:
On the evening of June 12, news suddenly came out from the domestic photovoltaic circle. Executives of Chinese photovoltaic companies are attending the Intersolar in Munich, Germany, in 2023 Europe) was taken away from the scene. The reporter then confirmed the news that the executive was taken away from a senior executive of a domestic photovoltaic listed company who witnessed the process at the scene. But he said the executive was taken away not at the exhibition site, but at Munich airport .
"Right before our eyes, he was taken by several men in uniform." The senior executive told reporters in shock that he was taken away by a senior executive of a photovoltaic module manufacturer in Changzhou that had not yet been listed.
As one of the largest and most influential solar energy exhibitions and fairs in the world, Intersolar Europe attracts a large number of photovoltaic enterprises from all over the world to participate in the exhibition every year, and Chinese photovoltaic enterprises with the most complete industrial chain and the most advanced industrial technology level in the world are no exception. This year, the exhibition is scheduled to be held from June 14 to 16.
" They should have a border control list, the list is very long, and very detailed, even where this person sits on the plane, where he lives after arriving in Germany are very clear.". It is estimated that we have already grasped all kinds of information and are ready to catch it . The above senior officials said.
The news has also been confirmed by a number of photovoltaic industry participants in the exhibition. Reporters also learned from a source that more than one person was taken away this time, many of them were taken away after the flight landed at Munich Airport.
The senior official also told reporters that he also saw a manager of a well-known domestic photovoltaic enterprise stopped at the scene, "was questioned for a long time, but later saw him come out to pick up his luggage, it should not be a big problem."
This scene seems to be a return to the past in many photovoltaic industry insiders. Four years ago in 2019, also in Munich, Germany, during the Intersolar Europe exhibition, a number of Chinese photovoltaic executives were taken away by relevant German departments. According to the news released by German photovoltaic media PV magazine at that time, German authorities issued two arrest warrants and arrested two Chinese citizens. The reason for the arrest of one of the arrested executives is said to be suspected of involvement in commercial smuggling of solar modules and illegal circumvention of the EU minimum price MIP implemented before September 2018. It is
also reported that more than two people were captured. At the end of May 2019, a number of domestic photovoltaic companies issued executive resignation announcements almost at the same time, which was also interpreted by the outside world as related to the above events.
As early as 2012, Europe and the United States launched anti-dumping and countervailing investigations against China's photovoltaic industry . Since then, in December 2013, MIP (Minimum import Price), a minimum price commitment agreement for photovoltaic between China and Europe, was signed. The agreement requires companies to sell solar products to Europe at a price above the minimum import price, and annual sales must be limited to a certain quota; outside the agreement, manufacturers must pay a 47.6% tariff. EU Prosun, the
European solar manufacturing association, has previously claimed damage to European taxpayers by circumventing minimum import price commitments and anti-dumping and countervailing duties of up to 400 million euros a year. However, in 2018, the European Commission finally announced that the EU's anti-dumping and countervailing measures against China's photovoltaic products would expire at midnight on September 3, 2018. This means that the EU's "double-reaction" and minimum price (MIP) measures against China's photovoltaic industry will expire and the two sides will resume normal photovoltaic trade on September 4, 2018.
Data show that before the EU launched a "double-reaction" investigation into China's photovoltaic products, more than 80% of China's photovoltaic module products were exported to the European market. After the "double reverse" investigation, China's photovoltaic exports to Europe fell off a cliff, falling below 10%. In 2011, the demand for photovoltaic installations in the EU market once reached 24 gigawatts. Since then, with the reduction of local subsidies and the "double-reaction" of Chinese photovoltaic products, the price of local photovoltaic products has remained high and the market demand has shrunk. In 2016, the European PV market demand dropped to 6 GW, reaching an all-time low.
