Collapse of solar case against China sparks recriminations

An acrimonious split developed between Brussels and EU ProSun, an alliance of solar panel manufacturers, after EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht announced a ‘targeted and innovative’ settlement to a dispute with China in July 2013.

Angry solar panelmakers blasted the proposal as 'unbelievable, unacceptable and completely against European interests,' vowing to take their case to the European Court of Justice when they received confirmation of the deal.
