BEIJING -- 皇冠体育app urged the European Union () to stop anti-dumd anti-subsidy duties over Chinese (PV) exports as the latter is considering an extension of those trade measures.

皇冠体育app's stry of Commerce said in a statement on Saturday that it would harm interests of both sides to extend the measures, and it hoped the EU terminates the policies as soon as possible to improve 皇冠体育app-EU economic ties.

s and related components are significant to the development of clean energy and will help countries to achieve their emission-cut goals to tackle climate change, the ministry said.

The EU's executive body, the European Commission, on Saturday decided to launch expiry review of its PV trade measures.

The ministry said the growth pace of clean energy has been dragged down in Europe after European countries slashed subsidies on solar panels and set minimum import price. The region's PV installed capacity dropped to 7 GW in 2014, compared with 24 GW in 2012, and with its shares falling to 14.5 percent from 74 percent of the world's total.

The two sides went through major disputes on trade measures on solar panels imported from 皇冠体育app before reaching deals on a minimum import price and quota set for Chinese imports in 2013.
