À l'été 2013, un accord à l'amiable entre l'Union européenne et la Chine a permis de régler, en apparence, la bataille commerciale entre les deux parties sur les échanges de panneaux solaires, l'UE accusant alors la Chine de pratiques de dumping. Cet article analyse les questions non résolues et les implications et défis sous-jacents à cet accord.

Résumé [en anglais] :
"This article addresses the implications and remaining challenges behind the seemingly happy ending of the recent EU–China trade dispute on solar products. First, the EU's choice of a specific trade defence measure—anti-dumping—was based on shaky arguments. Second, further trade disputes on green goods are very likely, in particular because China is increasingly implementing domestic support policies on green sectors, bringing down Chinese export prices. Third, trade defence measures could be adopted as an expensive option. Alternatively to this, the EU and China could consider setting up constructive and preventive mechanisms in order to stabilize trade and broaden their economic relationship."
