Cooler heads prevail in EU, China trade row over wine and solar panels

China agreed to discuss dropping its inquiry into whether Europe is dumping wine, after EU and Chinese officials made a deal on 29 July 2013 to avoid tariffs on solar panels from China.

After resolving their biggest trade dispute yet, Beijing and Brussels will tackle accusations that French, Spanish and Italian wine is being exported for sale at below the cost of production, as well as another dispute over exports of polysilicon, a raw material used in solar panels.
