According to the communiqués, the investigation was launched following applications from domestic manufacturers, supported by sufficient information, documentation, and evidence. The principles and procedures guiding the anti-dumping probe into these Chinese-origin products have now been officially established.
It was determined that the allegedly dumped products had adversely impacted the economic indicators of the domestic manufacturing sector. Based on the findings of the investigation, which included sufficient information, documentation, and evidence, the Unfair Competition in Imports Assessment Board decided to initiate an anti-dumping investigation into the products in question.
China, while being the world's largest emitter, has significantly expanded its renewable energy capacity in recent years and remains a leading global producer of solar panels. In a related development last year, the European Union also launched two investigations into Chinese solar panels over concerns about potentially "distortive" subsidies. However, the probes were eventually closed after the companies involved in a Romanian tender withdrew their participation.
