The EU Commission has rejected the European solar industry’s call for help against price pressure from China for the time being. The EU must continue to have access to affordable solar modules for the green transition, explained Finance Commissioner Mairead McGuinness in the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Monday. „Given that we currently rely to a very important degree on imports to reach EU solar deployment targets, any potential measure needs to be weighed against the objectives we have set ourselves when it comes to the energy transition,“ said McGuinness.
