The respective vice chairs of the European Parliament's Energy and International Trade committees are among 22 MEPs who have signed a letter calling on the European Commission (EC) to lift the minimum import price imposed on Chinese solar panels and modules. The EC is set to decide in March whether to abandon the anti-dumping measures, which are widely regarded as doing more harm to the EU than good. In an open letter, the signatories argue that the tariffs will "distort competition between producers from different Member States by artificially raising prices for consumers".

German firm SolarWorld has argued the opposite case, claiming Chinese imports have cost jobs across Europe.
