EC nearing decision on China solar pricing index changes

The European Commission is expected shortly to reject a request to exclude Chinese prices from the benchmarking index used to set the price at which Chinese cells and modules must be sold in the EU.

The MIP, currently set at €0.56, is the agreed minimum price at which Chinese manufacturers have agreed to sell their products in the EU to avoid paying punitive import duties imposed by the commission in 2013 at the behest of ProSun.
