"Mr President, Chinese technology is advancing rapidly and is now the equal of world leaders in many sectors.
One of the areas where Chinese production is clearly provoking fear among competing manufacturers in the US and Europe is the production of solar panels, which Chinese manufacturers are able to sell at a substantially better price than our companies. Instead of using the better prices of Chinese solar panels for a massive expansion of this photovoltaic source of green energy in Europe, we are allowing lobbyists from the Solarvol AG company to push for the introduction of tariff barriers, the result of which will simply be that this technology once again becomes inaccessible due to price. Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I think that in this case we must decide whether we wish to meet our ecological targets set out in the Strategy 2020 and encourage the most rapid and effective expansion of renewable sources of energy or to protect the profits and economic interests of companies which are unable to compete honestly with the substantially cheaper and more accessible Chinese products."@en1
