According to the China Trade Relief Information Network, on July 22, the European Commission announced that. Application filed on Apr. 18 and 19, 2025, by Interfloat Group, I. E, Interfloat Corporation and GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH, The second anti-dumping and countervailing sunset review investigation was launched on solar glass originating in China to examine whether the dumping and subsidies of the products involved would continue or recur if the existing anti-dumping and countervailing measures were abolished. The EU CN code of the product
involved is ex70071980 (TARIC code is 7007198012, 7007198018, 7007198080 and 7007198085). The sunset review investigation period is from July 1, 2024 to June 30 , 2025, and the industry injury investigation period is from January 1, 2022 to the end of the investigation period.
It is worth noting that the European photovoltaic glass manufacturer GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH is one of the enterprises that submitted the application for the double-counter investigation of China's photovoltaic glass.
The company is known as the last solar glass manufacturer in Europe, but in early July this year, the company filed for bankruptcy with the Brandenburg State Court in Germany. The bankruptcy of GMB means that the glass needed by the European photovoltaic manufacturing industry will be basically imported , which further exacerbates the hollowing out of the European photovoltaic manufacturing industry.
Due to the lack of competitiveness of local enterprises, the deterioration of the European photovoltaic market environment and the lack of timely government support, European photovoltaic manufacturing enterprises have been losing in recent years.
According to incomplete statistics from the Digital New Energy DataBM. Com, since 2023, more than 20 photovoltaic enterprises in the European photovoltaic manufacturing industry have declared bankruptcy or substantially reduced capacity or been forced to transfer capacity. At present, from the overall pattern, the European photovoltaic industry chain presents a serious "hollowing"-the upstream silicon material and silicon wafer links are weak in the quarter, mostly concentrated in the downstream component manufacturing links.
