preferential lending to the solar glass industry

The users have been purchasing in increasing proportion coated solar glass rather than uncoated solar glass.

The coated glass is useful in solar control and low emissivity glazing.

It was further claimed that double-side coated solar glass has solar transmittance coefficient normally much higher than single-side coated solar glass.

Secondly, the complainant claimed that after the IP demand in the Union shifted from uncoated to coated solar glass.

Coated solar glass (single or double-side coated) shall fall under TARIC code 7007198019 and uncoated solar glass shall fall under TARIC code 7007198011.

In particular, it was argued that double-side coated solar glass should have been compared separately from single-side coated solar glass.

Coated solar glass (single or double-side coated) shall fall under TARIC code 7007198019 and uncoated solar glass shall fall under TARIC code 7007198011.

Regarding the first claim, it appears that demand may indeed have shifted from uncoated to coated solar glass.

In that context, there is also a specific reference to solar glass.

A high quality uncoated solar glass can achieve a solar transmittance of up to 92 %.

Allegedly, the cost and price of the double-side coated solar glass is much higher than the cost and price of single-side coated solar glass.

The Commission therefore did not make a distinction between single-side and double-side coated solar glass when calculating the level of the adjustment.

The complainant alleged that the PRC is subsidising its solar glass industry.

The sample of exporting producers of solar glass was therefore the following
