EU probe may spark wider dispute : EU investigation into China's solar industry 'could lead to retaliation'

[China Daily]

China is considering taking retaliatory measures against a likely investigation by the European Commission into Chinese photovoltaic companies, a source from the Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday.

Media reports have speculated that the commission, the executive body of the European Union, will announce such an investigation before Thursday. The action is being sought by Germany's SolarWorld and other European companies, which on July 24 filed an anti-dumping complaint against their Chinese competitors.
In the face of the current global economic troubles, most Chinese photovoltaic companies have suspended their production this year. Authorities in the country have hinted they will retaliate against European wine and German exporters of polysilicon, if the solar case were to go forward.
