Chinesemodule makers are allowed to export 7GW each year into the EU, under the termsof the deal thrashed out in late 2013 between the EU Trade Commission andChina’s major PV manufacturers. They are also subject to a price floorcurrently set at €0.56 ($0.78)/W.

All Chineseproducers that have not signed onto the agreement are subject to punitivetariffs, effectively rendering their modules uncompetitive.
