ich habe den Artikel gelesen, einfach nur eine schande, was hemlock gemacht hat... erpreesung etc.
""It said that SolarWorld must send a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce requesting the pursuing of “good faith negotiations with respect to a potential settlement of the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations involving solar cells and modules from the People’s Republic of China.” Adding that “Any such settlement or amendments [between Deutsche Solar and Hemlock] shall be contingent on a settlement of the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations references in the letter above on terms acceptable to Hemlock Semiconductor.”
The court document then continued that SolarWorld President Gordon Brinser told Hemlock that the letter had been sent, but with a few small word changes. Hemlock, however, considered these word changes to be “quite significant and disappointing,” leading to an escalation in the dispute.
“The most interesting aspect is that Hemlock is apparently using the case as leverage to force SolarWorld to withdraw its petitions for punitive duties on Chinese solar cells and modules in order to regain access to the Chinese polysilicon market in turn,” leading polysilicon analyst Johannes Bernreuter told pv magazine. “As SolarWorld is a staunch defender of the duties, the company is in a delicate situation.”"
The logic on the side of Hemlock is that the removal of SolarWorld’s petitions for trade duties on Chinese solar cells and modules, would likely result in the removal of said duties, which would, in turn, see China remove similar duties on polysilicon produced in the U.S. This would open up the bustling Chinese solar market to companies that produce polysilicon in the U.S., including Hemlock, REC Silicon and Wacker. Wacker declined to comment when contacted by pv magazine.
“We see the ruling as increasing the probability of a trade war resolution: SolarWorld holds the key to a potential trade war resolution as withdrawing the claim against Chinese module producers is likely to trigger the Chinese withdrawal of duties on U.S. polysilicon,” Swedbank analyst Andreas Bertheussen said in a statement. “The ruling is just in time as the U.S. and Chinese trade officials will eet in July under a G20 meeting where the solar trade case will be on the agenda. A SolarWorld under pressure has increased the probability of a deal being struck during that time.”
