“The harm is with the consumers at home”
Süddeutsche Zeitung
The EU General Court's approval of anti-dumping measures for imports of solar panels from China is a pyrrhic victory for Europeans, because the duties simply increase consumer prices, writes Michael Bauchmüller in an opinion piece for Süddeutsche Zeitung. “These duties thus did more harm than good to the Energiewende,” writes Bauchmüller. German solar companies now had to be careful not to become “the victims of their own lobbying successes.”
