The Commission found that cell production in the Union was 1270 MW in the RIP, which means that it could cover 37 % of the total Union demand for cells, which was estimated at 3409 MW.
På kommissionens vägnar
The Union cell manufacturing capacity could cover roughly 18 % of the total Union demand for modules — roughly 7200 MW in the RIP.

Several parties submitted that the measures on cells benefit only one company — Solar World — and put most other non-vertically integrated module manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage in relation to that company.
EUT L 176, 30.6.2016, s. 55.
Solar World accounted for more than 70 % of all the cell production in the Union during the RIP.

This means that non-vertically integrated Union module producers could buy the cells from outside of the Union at similar prices or even lower prices.

This conclusion holds even taking into account the fact that the cells produced in the Union by vertically integrated producers are of high efficiency and high quality and hence are more expensive.

Therefore, the measures do not confer a competitive advantage to vertically integrated cell and module manufacturers over the non-vertically integrated ones.

The Commission further observed that the only period when the non-vertically integrated Union module manufacturers had difficulties in sourcing cells, coincided with an exceptional spike in demand at the end of 2015 and at the beginning of 2016 in the PRC.
Kommissionens genomförandeförordning (EU) 2016/184 av den 11 februari 2016 om utvidgning av den slutgiltiga utjämningstull som genom rådets genomförandeförordning (EU) nr 1239/2013 införts på import av solcellsmoduler av kristallint kisel samt väsentliga komponenter (dvs. celler) med ursprung i eller avsända från Folkrepubliken Kina till att även omfatta import av solcellsmoduler av kristallint kisel samt väsentliga komponenter (dvs. celler) avsända från Malaysia och Taiwan, oavsett om produktens deklarerade ursprung är Malaysia och Taiwan eller inte (EUT L 37, 12.2.2016, s. 56).
During that period the Chinese solar demand peaked at 22 GW [131].

Therefore, even if the measures had not been in place, the Union module manufacturers would have experienced similar cell supply difficulties as there was a one-off shortage of cells in the PRC for that relatively short period of time.
EUT C 405, 5.12.2015, s. 8.
This period of overheated demand for cells also partially coincided with the Commission's anti-circumvention investigation of Chinese cells and modules via Malaysia and Taiwan.

The registration of cells and modules, effective from the date of the initiation of the anti-circumvention case i.e. May 2015, caused some additional supply difficulties to the Union module manufactures.

The module manufacturers experienced a period of uncertainty as they had not known if their Taiwanese and Malaysian suppliers were genuine producers and would get an exemption from the duties.
Panelrapporter: China – Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties on Grain Oriented Flat-rolled Electrical Steel from the United States (punkt 7.289).
Eventually, in February 2016, more than 20 Malaysian and Taiwanese cell manufacturers who cooperated in that investigation were found to be genuine producers.

The Commission also found that the claim that the measures on cells protect only one company — Solar World — is unfounded.

As set out in recital 751, five more cell manufactures expressly support the continuation of the measures on cells.
US – Countervailing and Anti-dumping Measures (punkt 16.9)/rapporter från överprövningsorganet: United States – Import Prohibition of Certain Shrimp and Shrimp Products (punkt 158).
The Commission is aware of more than 10 cells manufacturers in the Union.
United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan (punkt 99).
The key reason why a single producer currently accounts for more than 70 % of all the cells produced in the Union is that many other cell manufactures exited the market as they could not withstand unfair competition from Chinese subsidised products.
De tre pågående rättsfallen vid tribunalen bestrider inte uppgifterna om subventionering utan rör andra frågor.
While most of these manufactures went out of the market, Solar World took over one of the largest Union cell manufacturers in 2014.
Avsnitt 1 i kapitel 10 i den tolfte femårsplanen: Industrierna för ny energi ska inriktas på utveckling av bl.a. utnyttjandet av solenergi och fotovoltaisk och fototermisk elproduktion.
This manufacturer was exiting the market and if the takeover had not happened more than 500 highly skilled workers would have lost their jobs.
Avsnitt III.ii.1 i den tolfte femårsplanen för solcellsindustrin.
Solar World claimed that without the measures in place not only it would have been unable to take over the other company and save its employment, but its own cell manufacturing facilities would have been bankrupt by now.
Avsnitt III.iii.1 i den tolfte femårsplanen för solcellsindustrin.
Therefore, the non-vertically integrated Union module assemblers face neither supply shortages nor a competitive disadvantage with regard to the vertically integrated ones.
Avsnitt III.ii.3 i den tolfte femårsplanen för solcellsindustrin.
Consequently, the Union consumers of modules are not negatively affected by the fact that the Union production of cells can cover only a relatively small proportion of the modules consumption.

Administrative burden caused by the measures
Kapitel 23, ruta 8: Strategiska åtgärder för utveckling av framväxande industrier, i den trettonde femårsplanen: Vi kommer att driva på industrialiseringen och skapa viktiga tekniska genomslag för en ny generation solceller.
The parties calling to terminate the measures on cells claimed that they impose significant additional business risk, working capital and administrative burden on non-vertically integrated module manufacturers.

This makes them suffer from an additional competitive disadvantage not only compared to the manufactures in the rest of the world, but also to the vertically-integrated leading European module manufacturer.

Impact of measures imposed on cells on the prices of modules and the demand
Se skäl 180 i den ursprungliga förordningen.
Several parties calling to terminate measures on cells claimed that they increase the cost of the key component of solar modules and consequently increase the price of new solar installations, which depresses the demand for solar modules.
Se skäl 192 i den ursprungliga förordningen.
Some parties submitted that outside of the RIP, in the second half of 2016, the average global contract selling prices fell significantly below the MIP, putting an additional strain on the non-vertically integrated Union module manufacturers.

The Commission found that an average global contract selling price for cells as reported by PVInsights was close to the MIP for most of the time the measures were in place.
Rapport från överprövningsorganet, United States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft (andra klagomålet), punkt 753.
Therefore the measures did not significantly increase the price of the key component of modules, if the global average contract selling price is used as a benchmark.
Panelrapport, United States – Measures Affecting Trade in Large Civil Aircraft, punkt 7.1235.
The Commission found the global contract selling prices fell significantly in the second half of 2016 as the solar sector went through a boom and bust cycle as set out in recital 767.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the cell prices stabilised and even started going up again, which is predictable for boom and bust cycles.

Nonetheless, taking into account the learning curve effect of the solar sector, it is likely that the new longer term price of solar cells will set below the level that prevailed before the recent boom and bust cycle.

Skillnaden verkar ha att göra med det faktum att IHS rapporterar alla moduler som har funnits i lager, avsänts eller installerats.
In view of the conclusions reached with regard to the continuation and the likelihood of recurrence of subsidisation and of continuation of injury, it follows that, in accordance with Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation, the countervailing measures applicable to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the PRC, imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013, should be maintained.

The Commission considered, on the basis of the evidence available at this stage, that when balancing the likely negative effects on the upstream and downstream industry as well as the consumers against the benefits which Union industry would derive from the measures, 18 months constitute an appropriate mediation between the competing interests.
